Apollo 6 was the second unmanned Saturn V test launch. This scenario simulates most events in the mission, but does not fully simulate the multiple engine failures during launch and has an extra apogee burn to set the re-entry trajectory which did not occur on the real mission: currently we only support automated prograde and retrograde burns, whereas the real burns on the mission were at an angle to the trajectory.
