a (CSM 008)_v_c_o_AKP (S-66-59001)

A dramatic view of heavily instrumented Command Module 008 (CM-008)/Command-Service Module 008 (CSM-008), aka FRM-008, aka S/C 008 circa mid-to-late 1966, during extensive unmanned & manned thermal vacuum testing in Chamber A of the Space Environment Simulation Laboratory (SESL)/Bldg 32, Manned Spacecraft Center (MSC), Houston, Texas.

The photograph appears to have been taken through an observation window, apparently/obviously(?) mid-test.
