Manny73211 Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago This is supposed to be a test of the RCS, docking, and long-distance re-entry capabilities of the Venus Command Module. The version of the 2nd stage was slightly different, with yellow baguettes on the sides and no fairing. 2 were launched. One with 3 crew members, and one with 1. We waited for the first one to almost complete an orbit before launching a second, in hopes of a successful rendezvous. That's the part that failed. RCS was amazing, and both re-entries were flawless, unattended, and one landed right next to the KSC. For the next LTV launch, we will need more fuel.
