a07/08_v_bw_o_n (plate no. 2, Arasmith CM cutaway)
Very nice cutaway of either - take your pick - the Apollo 7 or Apollo 8 Command Module, as depicted by talented artist Russ Arasmith.
Note the lack of a docking probe in the space above the “FORWARD ACCESS TUNNEL”, as it was not required on either Apollo 7 or 8.
I wonder what, if anything actually occupied that space for those missions? There would’ve surely been something, of equivalent mass, possibly in the form of basic instrumentation or recording/telemetry capability, no?
A life well-lived, thank you for your service Sir, Rest In Peace:
