![]() Today, it is part of the museum's space camp. It was originally built for the miniseries "SPACE," based on the James Michener book by the same title. The Apollo CM mockup is located at the Kansas Cosmosphere in Hutchinson, Kansas. The scenes you may be remembering from "Apollo 13" however, may be from inside the lunar module, as that is when they show the timed engine burn to put them on course with a return to Earth. The rendezvous windows provided the forward view, the observation windows offered a side view. Robert, where is that mockup of Apollo you sat in? I'd like to see it one day as well.Ĭourtesy another collectSPACE member (SpaceAholic, aka Scott Schneeweis) here's a labeled photo showing the window locations on the Apollo command module. Like the shuttle, did Apollo have cockpit windows or side or rear windows to look out? I remember in the Apollo 13 movie they were navigating in space via a window. If you mentally rotate the astronauts to a heads-up position, it is easier to grasp the concept that the 'dashboard' is directly in front of them.Īh, okay. If it helps, this photo shows me sitting in a mockup of the Apollo command module, looking in through the hatch: This was built back in the old days in 1.12 so everyone should be able to use the schematic file without problems. ![]() The other areas exposed by the cutaway diagram were not accessible by the crew and were not part of the cabin. Therefore, in the diagram that you have linked, the cockpit - which doubled as the living quarters - is where you see the seats (or couches, as labeled) positioned such that the astronauts were laying on their backs at launch. Unlike the space shuttle, which inside its crew compartment had both a flight deck and mid-deck, with the upper deck serving as a cockpit, the Apollo command module's crew cabin was a single level. It has labels for the instrument panel and the couches are easy to see. ![]() The cockpit is the middle part of the module. Halftone effect for retro feel and vintage vibe. Graphic includes dimensions, weight and labels. Authentic schematic showing elevation, side, top and bottom of the space shuttle. I looked at this diagram of the Apollo command module and could not find where the cockpit is.
