Launched: 1967 Spring. Number crew: 1 .

In orbit subsystems would have been evaluated that were not covered in the previous flight, and alternate and back-up control modes would be checked. During re-entry dynamic stability and aerothermal maneuver would be demonstrated using pitch and roll pulses of 2 to 5 degrees per second.
