“A North American Rockwell Corporation artist's concept depicting the Apollo Command Module (CM), oriented in a blunt-end-forward attitude, re-entering Earth's atmosphere after returning from a lunar landing mission. Note the change in color caused by the extremely high temperatures encountered upon re-entry.”
Also:
“Artistic illustration of the an Apollo Command Module during atmospheric reentry. The image was created by an artist at North American Rockwell Corporation (previously North American Aviation) leading up to the Apollo 8 mission. North American Rockwell built the Command Service Module and Saturn V S-II stage for the Apollo Program. Image courtesy: NASA/Boeing”
