“The legs of the lunar module were extended and the service rocket burned in this drawing of a test of the module. The real test was conducted by the Apollo 9 astronauts Tuesday. The lunar module is unoccupied now, but two crewmen will enter it on Wednesday.”
The above is an interesting alteration - to accommodate newspaper publishing of the image - of the following ‘base’ NASA description associated with this image:
“Legs of lunar module are extended and service rocket is burned for first time on mission. This drawing illustrates first service rocket burn on first day or any one of three service rocket burns on second day of the mission. Lunar module is still unoccupied at the time. The three crewmen remain in the command module.”
The photograph is no. 4 (visible to the lower left, in the white border) of a series of up to 13 that artist Russell Arasmith created for NASA to depict various points during the Apollo 9 mission.
