Description
The prime crew of Apollo 1, Virgil I (Gus) Grissom, Edward H. White, II, and Roger B. Chaffee, during training in Florida. On January 27, 1967, the crew was killed when a fire erupted in their capsule during testing. Apollo 1 was originally designated AS- 204 but following the fire, the astronauts' widows requested that the mission be remembered as Apollo 1 and following missions would be numbered subsequent to the flight that never made it into space.
