During the Apollo program, a number of boilerplate command modules were constructed for use in training scenarios. This specific example, BP1102A, was used for water egress training. Apollo crews, including the crew of Apollo 11, used this to practice exiting the CM. Reproduction or actual components were used to fit the interior to simulate the CMs used in the Apollo program: the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project, and the 5-person Skylab rescue vehicle.

APOLLO COMMAND MODULE (MOCKUP)
The Apollo command module is the NASA spacecraft that flew astronauts from the Earth to the Moon and back.
In 1961, NASA awarded the contract for the command module to then North American Aviation. It was a continuation of the "capsule" spacecraft design used in the Mercury and Gemini Programs. The Apollo command module was larger to accommodate three astronauts and used advanced computers and navigational equipment on the longer lunar flights. For most of the flight, the command module was attached to the service module which contained the propulsion, environmental, electrical, control and fuel systems.
Unlike the previous NASA spacecraft, the Apollo command module was built with a docking assembly and hatch so that it could dock with the lunar module. The lunar module would detach and land on the moon with two astronauts leaving the command module and its pilot in lunar orbit until their return.
Thirty-five command modules were built, with 15 of them being launched on manned space missions. These included eleven Apollo missions, three Skylab missions, and the Apollo Soyuz Test Project. The rest of the modules were used in various Earthbound tests or unmanned test flights.
This command module mockup was built by North American Rockwell for the CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite during their reporting of the Apollo missions. Made up of surplus command module panels, equipment, couches and other parts, it gave television viewers a visual of the interior of the spacecraft. During the Apollo missions, there was limited live and recorded footage for use by the networks. Mockups, models, graphics and other visual aids were important tools for reporters to help fill in the visual narrative of an Apollo mission.
The mockup was later used in the Ron Howard & Tom Hanks HBO miniseries From the Earth to the Moon. In the miniseries, the mockup was used by Emmett Seaborn, a fictitious news anchor with the fictitious NTC network.
Technical Specifications (Command Module Without Service Module):
Length: 30 ft-10 in
Diameter: 10 ft-7 in
Interior 210 cubic feet
Weight: 12.251 Ibs. (without service module)

Apollo 10 Command Module at the Science Museum, South Kensington.
In this capsule Tom Stafford, John Young and Gene Cernan travelled around the Moon in 1969 as a dress rehearsal for the Apollo 11 landing which followed in July.
This photo shows the first functional Apollo spacecraft launched into space. The test flight was launched on Feb. 26, 1966. The photo was taken circa 1967. This photo was found on the web some years ago. It is not in my collection.

A few months after Apollo 11's historic Moon landing, Apollo 12 with commander Charles Conrad Jr., Command Module pilot Richard Gordan, and Lunar Module pilot Alan Bean returned for more geographic and scientific exploration. Gordan took the above picture from the Command Module, where he stayed during the mission, while Conrad and Bean in the Lunar Module descend to the lunar surface, where they landed, collected samples and conducted scientific experiments.

The Apollo 15 Command Module, Endeavor, rests at the United States Air Force Museum, Wright Patterson AFB, Ohio.
Apollo 15 was the fourth mission in which humans walked on the lunar surface and returned to Earth. On 30 July 1971 two astronauts (Apollo 15 Commander David R. Scott and LM pilot James B. Irwin) landed in the Hadley Rille/Apennines region of the Moon in the Lunar Module (LM) while the Command and Service Module (CSM) (with CM pilot Alfred M. Worden) continued in lunar orbit. During their stay on the Moon, the astronauts set up scientific experiments, took photographs, and collected lunar samples. The LM took off from the Moon on 2 August and the astronauts returned to Earth on 7 August. -- NASA

The other Smithsonian Air & Space Museum is the Udvar-Hazy Center near Dulles International Airport, which is on the western side of Washington, DC. They have more room to display the really big air and space craft out there--like the Concorde supersonic passenger jet and the Space Shuttle Enterprise.
