Notes:
1) The Mission was scrubbed after an unscheduled engine cutoff resulting in the jettisoning of the escape rocket
when the booster was approximately 1 inch off the pad. The booster was still suitable for use on MR-1A.
2) A previous launch attempt occurred on 8 November.
3) Scan of Patrick AFB cover is from Steve Durst's unpublished book
