Editing Apollo abort modes (section)

=== S-IVB to COI ===
("Saturn IV-B (NASA's designation for the Saturn V's third stage burn) To Contingency Orbit Insertion") In case of a failure of the [[S-II]] second stage, the stage would be jettisoned, and the rocket is high and fast enough that the [[S-IVB]] third stage, followed by the [[Apollo Command/Service Module|Service Module]] (SM) engine, has enough propellant to place the spacecraft in Earth orbit. There would not be enough propellant to perform [[trans-lunar injection]], so only an Earth-orbit mission would be performed.
