Apollo Spacecraft - A Journey into Space
The Apollo Spacecraft was composed of three parts designed to accomplish the American Apollo program's goal of landing astronauts on the Moon by the end of the 1960s and returning them safely to Earth. The spacecraft consisted of a combined Command and Service Module and a Lunar Module.
The design was based on the lunar orbit rendezvous approach: two docked spacecraft were sent to the Moon and went into lunar orbit. While the Lunar Module separated and landed, the Command and Service Module remained in orbit. After the lunar excursion, the two craft rendezvoused and docked in lunar orbit, and the Command and Service Module returned the crew to Earth. The Command Module was the only part of the spacecraft that returned with the crew to the Earth's surface.*
The model of the Apollo Spacecraft consists of the Command and Service Module and the Lunar Module.
In addition, the model includes the Lunar Roving Vehicle, various equipment such as the ALSEP (Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package), recovery equipment for the splashdown of the Command Module and a display stand.
