The vehicle lifted off on a launch azimuth of 90 degrees east of north and rolled to a flight azimuth of 80.088 degrees east of north. The launch vehicle successfully placed the manned spice-craft in the planned translunar coast mode. The S-IVB/IU impacted the lunar surface within the planned target area.nThis was the first Apollo Mission to employ the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) during Extravehicular Activity (EVA). The performance of the LRV was satisfactory and resulted in extended EVA, and greatly increased the crews lunar exploration capabilities.
