Command and Service Modules, Apollo #105, ASTP Mockup, 1960s

This Block II Apollo Command and Service Module combination (CSM 105), manufactured by North American Rockwell, was originally used for vibration and acoustic tests. In 1973 it was refurbished for display at the Paris Air Show. The CSM was displayed docked to a Soviet Soyuz spacecraft, as was planned for the Apollo-Soyuz Test Program (ASTP) mission that took place in July 1975. The Soyuz spacecraft was made of residual test hardware. In 1976 this combined exhibit was installed in the National Air and Space Museum after its transfer from NASA

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Command and Service Modules of Apollo #105, an iconic piece of space exploration history. Manufactured by North American Rockwell in the 1960s, this Block II Apollo CSM combination was initially utilized for rigorous vibration and acoustic tests. However, its significance didn't end there. In 1973, this remarkable spacecraft underwent refurbishment to be displayed at the prestigious Paris Air Show. The exhibit featured the CSM docked to a Soviet Soyuz spacecraft, mirroring the planned mission for Apollo-Soyuz Test Program (ASTP) that occurred in July 1975. It's worth noting that the Soyuz craft itself was constructed from residual test hardware. Afterwards, in 1976, this extraordinary combined display found its permanent home at the National Air and Space Museum (NASM). Transferred from NASA with great care and admiration, it became a cherished part of America's scientific heritage. The vibrant color photograph captures not only a technological marvel but also symbolizes international cooperation during a pivotal era of space travel. This image serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit of knowledge beyond Earth's boundaries. Displayed within one of America's most esteemed educational institutions - NASM - this replica stands as an enduring reminder of our nation's contributions to space exploration. Its presence evokes awe-inspiring feelings while honoring both past achievements and future aspirations in science and technology.
