| Gemini 9 (Cancelled) |
Proposed Backup Crew The Gemini 9 backup crew flew after Elliot See and Charles Bassett died on February 28, 1966 when their T-38 trainer jet crashed in St. Louis. The Gemini 9 was delayed and re-planned after the launch failure of the Gemini Agena Target Vehicle 9 on May 17, 1966. |
| 1. Gemini 9A | The Augmented Target Docking Adapter's payload fairing failed to separate, preventing the planned docking with Gemini 9A. |
| Gemini 12 (Backup Crew) |
Docked with Gemini Agena Target Vehicle 12 |
| Apollo AS-207 (Cancelled) |
Proposed Backup Crew for the Apollo D mission Two separate Saturn 1B launches would have put the Apollo CSM-101 spacecraft / AS-207 and Lunar Module LM-2 / AS-208 in to orbit for the first planned manned test space flight of the Apollo Lunar Module. After the cancellation of the Apollo AS-205 mission, the Saturn 1B AS-205 booster replaced the Saturn 1B AS-207 booster for the Apollo CSM-101 launch. After the Apollo 1 fire, it was decided to launch the mission on a single Saturn V. Apollo 9 completed the objectives of the Apollo D mission, and the Apollo CSM-101 spacecraft was used for the Apollo 7 mission. |
