a (CSM 008)_v_bw_o_n (S-66-44842)
Excellent overhead view of Ground Test Vehicle/ Command & Service Module (CSM) 008, aka FRM-008, aka S/C 008, possibly/apparently being exposed to simulated illumination & thermal conditions in Vacuum Chamber A of the Space Environment Simulation Laboratory (SESL)/Bldg 32, Manned Spacecraft Center (MSC), Houston, Texas. One of three (I think) - two opposing on the sides/one overhead - banks of carbon arc lamps seem to be on. I don’t know what photography from this perspective was available when the chamber was sealed…so I have no idea if this was while the spacecraft was under vacuum conditions or not. This may be a test of the lights, system, etc. Who knows.
~7.75” x 10”. Despite being trimmed, unevenly, by some ‘blessed’ soul, a really cool photo.

Spectacular often reproduced view, which I believe shows the opposing bank of lights illuminated:
