The mission played an important role in preparing the later [[Apollo 11]] mission, as it was the first flight of the Lunar Entry Module (LEM), the first test of the Apollo space suits and the second flight of the Saturn V rocket. Apollo 9 was crewed by James McDivitt, the Commander; David Scott, the Command Module Pilot and Russell Schweickart, Lunar Module Pilot.
Apollo 9 launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on March 3, 1969, and returned March 13th.
