Notes:
1) The mission was aborted shortly after liftoff when the rocket deviated from its planned trajectory.
2) A HR2S helicopter from the MAG-26 launch site recovery group recovered the spacecraft and returned it to Cape
Canaveral.
3) Scan of Port Canaveral cover is from Steve Durst's unpublished book
