Launch of AS-101 (SA-6)
Lift off of AS-101 Saturn I (BP-13/SA-6) from Launch Complex 17, pad B, Cape Canaveral, Florida. It was the sixth flight of the Saturn I launch vehicle, and the first to carry the Apollo spacecraft (albeit the boilerplate version) into low Earth orbit.
Diagram of the SA-6 launch vehicle and spacecraft.
The primary objectives:
Launch vehicle propulsion, structural, and control demonstration.
First active closed loop ST-124 guidance flight.
First flight of the Apollo Spacecraft and Saturn Launch Vehicle configuration.
Determine structurally the launch escape tower separation characteristics.
S-I Stage and S-IV Stage separation and ignition.
The Secondary objectives:
Visual documentation by movie cameras of internal vehicle functions and stage separation.
Demonstrate Apollo Spacecraft launch and environmental parameters.
Demonstrate compatibility of research and development communications and instrumentation between the space ve-hicle and ground.

The ascent was normal up to 116.9 seconds after liftoff, at which point engine number eight shut off early. The onboard guidance computer compensated by burning the remaining fuel in the other seven engines for 2.7 seconds longer than planned. It was later determined to be caused by teeth on one of the gears in the turbopump in the H-1 rocket engine that were stripped.

BP-13 stayed attached to the S-IV upper stage for four orbits (about six hours) during the test flight. It remained in orbit for an additional 50 orbits before reentering the atmosphere uncontrolled and crashing in the Pacific Ocean on June 1, 1964.
