“The apollo spacecraft will first be flown in earth-orbit, where the many spacecraft components and systems will be tested and evaluated in a space environment. The earth-orbital flights will also be used for space crew training and for the development of operational techniques. In conjunction with these qualification flights, the spacecraft can be used, in earth-orbit, as a laboratory for scientific measurements or technological developments in space.”
Contained within the following document (as Figure 1), along with the others of this "family/series".
An interesting, unexpected & pleasant surprise:
