Apollo command module 009 interior
The first functional Apollo spacecraft launched into space was serial number 009 atop Saturn 1B SA-201. The command module is on display at the Strategic Air Command Museum near Ashland, Nebraska. I used my digital camera placed against the hatch window to acquire the view shown here. This is the only way to get a look inside without of course removing the hatch. CM-009 was restored in the late 1990s after years of outdoor storage at the University of Nebraska. Unfortunately, the restoration resulted in a fiberglass shell being placed around the spacecraft to simulate its pre-flight appearance. The original hatch is stored inside as seen to the right.
