First flight test of Apollo lunar module (Apollo 5) Jan. 22-23 was adjudged success. NASA officials were gratified with matu­rity of spacecraft's hardware; studies indicated LM showed more matu­rity in its first flight than many previous spacecraft, including some de­signed to be manned. Although overly conservative programming of guidance computer caused early shutdown of first descent propulsion system burn, data indicated no problems with computer or system's en­gine.
