Heh, those are actually just cues taken straight from Elmer Bernstein's score for The Great Escape, not original compositions intended to sound like them - a nicely responsible licensing decision from the producers, and I was a little surprised they made it onto the DVD version. Licensed BGM often suffers in home video releases.

The track is called "Spider/Eagle". I can't remember now exactly what's going on in the episode when it plays. The leitmotif (that's twice today I've used that word) turns up several times in the course of the ep, but I think that specific track might play during the scene where they've cut Spider loose at the end of the test and Schweickart and McDivitt are watching it drift away, or possibly earlier on, when Tom Kelly is doing his final inspection before handover to NASA.
Check the discussion threads for Clarion Call - ISTR there was a fairly in-depth look at it there, and I think there's actually a link to the track itself on Mason Daring's website (assuming, of course, that it's still there). If you can't find it, let me know and I'll see if I can hook you up. HBO never bothered including it on any official soundtrack release and the composer himself was giving it away for free on his website five years ago, so I don't have any particular piracy angst happening there. :)
