Title
Saturn V Third Stage LM Adapter
Full Description
Attached to the Saturn IV-B stage, the Lunar Module Adapter's four panels are
retracted to the fully open position. This is where the Lunar Module (LM) is
stored during launch. On missions requiring the use of a LM, the four panels
would be retracted and jettisoned before rendezvous and docking.
This photo was taken during the Apollo 7 mission, when no Lunar Module was
carried. The SIV-B stage flew as the second stage on a Saturn IB rocket. It is
also used as the third stage on the Saturn V.
The Apollo 7 mission was designed to test the Apollo Command and Service Module
spacecraft systems specifically. Apollo 9 was the first mission to fly the
Lunar Module.
