Apollo 1 Crew Portrait
Astronauts Virgil I. "Gus" Grissom, Edward H. White, II, and Roger B. Chaffee take a break from their training to pose for this portrait.
On January 37, 1967, disaster fell upon the Apollo 1 mission when a sudden fire broke out in the command module during a launch pad test in which all three of the primary crew perished. The three astronauts died quickly in the tragic accident.
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.
