J-12, 3 Mar 61, Response Mode 4, Flight Phase 2: Stage-II terminated prematurely
after 54-second burn, apparently due to failure of pump drive assembly. Impact
was 730 miles downrange.

M-1, 24 Jun 61, Response Mode 4T, Flight Phase 2: Stage II engine shut down
prematurely after 12 seconds of operation due to loss of Stage II hydraulic power.

control of sustainer and vernier actuators, producing excessive missile motion and
tumbling.

M-3, 7 Sep 61, Response Mode 5, Flight Phase 2: A transient in guidance computer
at 218.35 seconds (SECO at 297.7 seconds) caused impact 20 miles short and 2.8
