	Apollo Command/Service Module - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The command module's inner structure was an aluminum "sandwich" consisting of a welded aluminum inner skin, a thermally bonded honeycomb core, and a thin aluminium "face sheet".
		The Command Module was a truncated cone measuring 10 feet 7 inches (3.2 m) tall and having a diameter of 12 feet 10 inches (3.9 m) across the base.
		The central pressure vessel of the command module was its sole habitable compartment.

	Apollo Space Command Module
		This command module at Rockwell flew as Apollo 14 in 1971.
		North American Rockwell was the name of the company from 1967 to 1973, encompassing the time in which the Apollo 14 construction was completed and in which the Apollo program was completed, and as such it should be used to reflect historical accuracy.
		The command module, built by North American Aviation (at the time of launch, North American Rockwell Corporation), accommodated three astronauts during the mission.

	The Partnership - ch3-7
		Called CM for short, the command module was a multipurpose space cabin internally organized to function as a combined cockpit, office, laboratory, communications center, galley, sleeping quarters, and personal hygiene center.
		The command-center module became the crew quarters for all phases of the mission, and the propulsion module held all redundant and orbital maneuvering systems.
		The spacecraft consisted of three major components - the cosmonauts' cabin (descent vehicle), occupied during the launch and reentry phases of the flight; an orbital module, partitioned from the descent vehicle by an airtight hatch; and an instrument assembly module.

	Apollo 17
		During the Apollo 17 mission, MSC would be responsible for the medical briefing at the mission reviews, would provide the medical staffing of the mission operations control room, would assume the medical line responsibilities in the operations team, and would provide mission surgeons to take part in the change-of-shift press briefings.
		The last sampling trip of the Apollo program was a traverse to the foot of the North Massif, where they found two large boulders that had obviously rolled down from outcrops higher on the mountain; their tracks were visible in the soft soil.
		Apollo's exploration of the moon, "one of the most ambitious and successful endeavors of man," was over.

	SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Metro -- Apollo 9 module arrives at Aerospace Museum
		SAN DIEGO – The Apollo 9 Command Module arrived safely at its new home at the San Diego Aerospace Museum today, where it will be the first Apollo capsule flown in space ever displayed in the Western United States.
		Apollo 9 was launched from Florida's Kennedy Space Center aboard a Saturn V rocket on March 3, 1969, with three astronauts aboard – Col. James A. McDivitt, Col. David R. Scott and module pilot Russell L. Schweickart.
		Apollo 9, which is on loan to the museum, will likely be a permanent exhibit, Varonfakis said.

	Precursors to the Landing Missions
		For the first time, on Apollo 9, a crew performed the delicate maneuver of separating the Command Module from the Saturn V, then moving away and turning around to dock with the stowed LM and pull it free of the Saturn.
		Perhaps not surprisingly, the Command Module was the first major piece of the Apollo flight hardware ready for flight testing.

	SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Metro -- Aerospace Museum lands Apollo 9 module
		Apollo 9 and its three-man crew, launched March 3, 1969, from Cape Canaveral, Fla., conducted the first tests in space of the lunar excursion module, which at one point was more than 100 miles from the command module while both were in Earth's orbit.
		The Apollo 9 command module, nicknamed "Gumdrop" by its crew, was powered only by 16 small monomethylhydrazine thruster rockets for adjusting position during re-entry, Myers said.
		The Apollo 9 module will then be moved to permanent exhibit space inside the museum proper and join the full-size mock-ups of the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo modules.

	Contact Light - a personal retrospective of Project Apollo
		from the previous Apollo flights in that, in addition to carrying a LRV, they each used more advanced versions of the Apollo Lunar Module and Command and Service Modules.
		The Apollo project was dealt a major setback in early 1967 with the tragic Apollo 1 fire and death of its crewmen during training, and it wasn't until October of 1968 (23 months after the final Gemini flight) that manned missions resumed with the launch of earth orbital mission Apollo 7.
		Apollo 17 set records for total duration of lunar EVA's (22 hours), distance driven with the LRV (36 km.) and lunar samples collected (254 lbs.), and brought the manned lunar landing missions to conclusion in grand fashion with a spectacular televised lunar liftoff.

	LUNAR MODULE MISSIONS
		The mission of Apollo 10 was to conduct all phases of Apollo spacecraft operations except the actual lunar landing, including rendezvous and docking between the CSM and LM in lunar orbit and descent of the LM to within 50,000 feet of the moon's surface.
		The last human activity on the moon's surface during the Apollo program came at 5:23 pm EST on 13 December 1972, with lift-off of the LM ascent module at 5:55 pm.
		This was the first flight test of the Apollo LM.

	Manned Space Chronology: Apollo 17
		Apollo 17 was not originally intended to be the last Apollo flight to the Moon.
		Although the Apollo 17 astronauts completed the last Moonwalks in the Apollo program, these were certainly not the least, as most records set during the course of the Apollo program were broken.
		The final Apollo flight to the Moon was launched about 2 hours, 40 minutes late due to a technical difficulty during the countdown.

	APOLLO COMMAND MODULE MODEL HOME PAGE
		A fire inside an APOLLO command module (Spacecraft 012 shown above was the CM which was destroyed by the fire.) took the lives of astronauts Virgil "Gus" Grissom, Edward White and Roger Chaffee, who were training inside it at the time.
		The teardrop-shaped APOLLO command module, (shown above) the living quarters for the three-man crews, had a differenct shape from the conical-nosed GEMINI and MERCURY.
		After six lunar landings the APOLLO program came to a conclusion (APOLLO 18, 19, and 20 missions had been canceled in 1970 because of budget limitations), and with it ended the first wave of human exploration of the Moon.

	Apollo 12 mission history - Detailed account of the second mission to land a man on the moon
		After Conrad and Bean entered and activated the lunar module, command module pilot Dick Gordon turned the spacecraft so that the long axis of the command and service module was perpendicular to the flight path with the lunar module outward from the moon.
		Apollo 11 had landed 4 miles from their intended target and geologists needed a pinpoint landing for detailed studies of specific areas.
		All three previous Apollo flights to the moon were along a trajectory called a "free return" that would allow the spacecraft to loop the moon and returning to earth if it failed to attain lunar orbit.

	Greatest Space Events of the 20th Century: The 60s
		Apollo 11's safe return on July 24 marked the beginning of a new age, one in which human beings could truly be called a spacefaring species.
		Apollo 8 was more than a technical triumph, more even than a milestone in exploration: It was a mountaintop experience for the entire human species.
		Amazingly, both flights -- Apollo 9, an Earth-orbit test of the entire Apollo spacecraft and Apollo 10, a "dress rehearsal" for the landing in lunar orbit-- were almost flawless.

	Apollo Lunar Module Lack Of Flame And Exhaust And Other Anomalies
		For the Apollo lunar ascent and descent module single main engine and sixteen attitude control thrusters, the fuel and oxidizer were, respectively, hydrazine and nitrogen tetroxide.
		In this image showing the Apollo 17 lunar ascent module "Challenger" supposedly lifting off from the Taurus-Littrow landing site there is no flame, exhaust, or even engine exhaust shroud visible from the bottom of the lunar ascent module.
		For the longer missions, such as Apollo 17, by the time the LM would have ascended from the moon's surface, several days of nearly perpendicular constant sunlight bombardment to moon surface equipment would have already occurred.

	Apollo Capsule and Command Module
		When the ill-fated Apollo 13 command module suffered an explosion, the three astronauts use the lunar lander as a lifeboat, permitting their safe return to earth.
		The lander was made so that it could be positioned by the command modules (see above left), but was turned around, feet outward, for boarding.
		The above model is of the Apollo 11 vehicles, the ones that made the first moon landing.

	APOLLO Command Module
		Specifically, an EPM7256AE chip is used to provide the CAMAC dataway interface and house the module's command set.
		The PLDs residing in the ACM can be re-programmed in situ, allowing arbitrary modifications to the logic provided the pinouts and external hardware are the same.
		The functions of the ACM have been implemented as a custom CAMAC module based on Altera MAX 7000AE programmable logic devices (PLDs).
