Title
Preparation tests for the Apollo Command Module
Full Description
Preparations for dynamic stability tests of the Apollo
Command Module and its launch escape system are observed by
NASA engineer Bobby W. Sanders at Lewis Research Center,
Cleveland, Ohio. A scale model of the command module in
which three astronauts will ride during their journey to the
moon, and their launch escape systems are undergoing tests
in Lewis' 8 x 6 foot transonic wind tunnel. The tunnel
simulates conditions the spacecraft will encounter during a
portion of its flight through the Earth's atmosphere.
