Present planning would be to use Revs 205 and 206, and we are able to target - we are able to target for the same touchdown point from both of those revolutions. So that's the way we would do it.

The early release of the pad disconnect plug is under investigation and will be corrected. Subsequent data analysis of all systems also revealed that one of the first-stage engine systems was malfunctioning at the time of shutdown. Further concentrated review isolated the problem in the gas generator system, which provides power to drive the propellant pump. Late this morning the gas generator system was disassembled, and a foreign object was found, which confirms the a_alysis. This object was a plastic dust cover inadvertently left in the oxidizer inlet port to the gas generator. The system is being cleaned and will be reinstalled on the engine late tonight. Ail work schedules indicate that a Wednesday morning launch attempt is possible. Even if the problem with the pad discon- nect plug had not occurred, the engine malfunction would have caused shutdown to be commanded 1.O3 seconds later. These and other safety features are incorporated into the Gemini launch vehicle to prevent the vehicle from lifting off with any mai- functioning system".
