Waiting on the Cause
No cause has been given yet. What National Aeronautics and Space Administration finds will be added here, and to the updates below.
A-003 was the fourth abort test of the Apollo spacecraft. This particular flight is notable because during the abort test flight, an actual abort situation occurred, and further proved the Apollo launch escape system (LES). The CM was successfully pulled away from the malfunctioning Little Joe booster and it landed safely under parachutes.
