“THE LONG BURN—At a height of about 1,000 miles, the Apollo service module engine begins its 4-minute and 25-second burn to build up a lunar mission reentry speed of almost 25,500 miles an hour. This is the longest burn ever performed by the service module engine, building up a thrust of almost 21,500 pounds. Spacecraft for the Apollo 4 flight was produced by North American Aviation’s Space Division, Downey, for NASA’s Manned Spacecraft Center, Houston.”
By Gary Meyer? Less likely…Henry Lozano? Too early for Manuel Alvarez..I’d think. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Although the caption of this photograph is 'personalized' to apply to Apollo 4, the image (with an SPS burn this near to earth), I believe is also applicable to Apollo 6.
