[2] The C-2 design concept was for a proposed crewed circumlunar flight and the Earth orbit rendezvous (EOR) missions.
On 30 September 1960, the fourth meeting of the Space Exploration Program Council was held at NASA Headquarters.
Objectives of the study were to determine: Since no change in the NASA FY1962 budget was contemplated, the Committee recommended that the Saturn C-2 development should proceed on schedule (S-II stage contract in FY 1962, with first flight in 1965).
It was calculated that 15 launches and rendezvous of the C-2 would have been required to assemble a lunar spacecraft in Low Earth orbit.
