Apollo 1 crew in training, 1960s C016 / 6370
Apollo 1 crew in training. NASA astronauts Roger Chaffee (1935-1967), Edward White (1930-1967) and Gus Grissom (1926-1967) in the Apollo command module during training for the Apollo 1 mission. It was during a launch pad testing session, similar to this test, that the three astronauts were killed on 27 January 1967. An electrical short-circuit ignited the flammable high-pressure 100 percent oxygen atmosphere. Changes were made following an investigation. The Apollo programme resumed with several unmanned flights, with the first manned flight (Apollo 7) taking place on 11 October 1968. Numerous memorials have been dedicated to the three astronauts

EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures a significant moment in the history of space exploration. In the image, taken during the 1960s, we see NASA astronauts Roger Chaffee, Edward White, and Gus Grissom inside the Apollo command module as they undergo training for the ill-fated Apollo 1 mission. Tragically, these brave men lost their lives on January 27th, 1967 when an electrical short-circuit ignited a flammable high-pressure oxygen atmosphere during a launch pad testing session. The devastating incident prompted a thorough investigation and subsequent changes to ensure astronaut safety. Following several unmanned flights as part of the resumed Apollo program, manned missions finally recommenced with Apollo 7 on October 11th, 1968. To honor their memory and sacrifice, numerous memorials have been dedicated to these fallen heroes who played an instrumental role in advancing human understanding of space exploration. This photograph serves as a reminder not only of their courage but also of the risks inherent in pushing technological boundaries. As we reflect upon this historic event captured by photographer Detlev van Ravenswaay from Science Photo Library at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, let us pay tribute to these remarkable individuals who paved the way for future generations of astronauts and contributed immensely to our knowledge of spaceflight.
