Editing AS-101 (section)

==Boilerplate Apollo ==
The first five launches of the Saturn I had carried [[PGM-19 Jupiter|Jupiter]] nosecones, a proven design which allowed engineers to focus on development of the rocket. To verify the  launch aerodynamics of the CSM, AS-101 carried BP-13, a [[boilerplate (spacecraft)|boilerplate spacecraft]] that weighed {{convert|17000|lb|kg}} and duplicated the size and shape of the CSM, and a dummy LES tower. A flight-weight command module (CM) weighed around {{convert|12000|lb|kg}}.<ref name="NSSDC"/> The boilerplate spacecraft was instrumented with 116 sensors reading strain, pressure, temperature, heat flux, and acceleration.
