Apollo 7

Apollo 7 was the first manned mission in the Apollo program to be launched. It was an eleven-day earth-orbital mission, the first manned launch of the Saturn IB launch vehicle, and the first three-man American space mission. Wally Schirra, Walt Cunningham and Donn Eisele take the most complex machine yet created, the Apollo CSM, on its first test flight.

In Project Apollo - NASSP the Apollo 7 mission is available in Quickstart mode, Standard mode and Virtual AGC mode.
