This is a full-scale, high-fidelity replica of an Apollo Command & Service Module (CSM) spacecraft. The Apollo CSM served as the “mother-ship” of all Apollo, Skylab and Apollo-Soyuz missions, including all of the lunar landing flights. The astronauts rode in the conical-shaped front end of the spacecraft called the COMMAND MODULE (CM) during launch and reentry. Because it had a protective heat-shield, it was the only section of the 36-story tall Saturn V launch vehicle that could return to Earth. The large cylinder section behind the Command Module is the SERVICE MODULE, that supplies oxygen, water, electrical
power, communication, and propulsion for the spacecraft, and is jettisoned just before reentry. (Full-Scale Replica)
