APOLLO 11 CAPSULE-NEW DLGr[.AY SHOWS
LUNAR VEHICLES, SUPPORT SYSTEMS
The National Air and Space 'ufuseum has
placed on exhibit in the Arts apd Industries
Building one of the key artifacts of the his-
toric Apollo 11 mission-the command mod-
ulo Columbia.
It was the mother ship Columbia that
stayed aloft in orbit when th,; descent to
the moon's surface was made for the first
time in the lunar module (MV). Later the
Columbia brought the apollo crew safely back
to earth. Columbia was dealt and with a
compact blunt shape to withst:;nd the fiery
temperatures generated when it re-entered
the earth's atmosphere at 24,000 miles an
hour. Char marks on the craft' : surface can
still be seen.
The Columbia's lunar module companion
ship, Eagle, was not designed to return to
earth, but the NASM currently has on view
an identical LM recently prese+;ted to it by
the National Aeronautics and f -pe.ce Admin-
istration. The two-story high (23 feet) two-
stage craft, built by Grumman Aerospace, is
in the rotunda of the Arts and Industries
Building, a few feet away from 1 he Columbia.
Around the Columbia and the LM are
exhibit cases containing other unique arti-
facts associated with the historic Apollo 11
flight. Many of them are on public display
for the first time, including tie space suit
worn by Apollo 11 astronaut-, Neil Arm-
strong, Michael Collins and Edwin E. Aldrin,
Jr.; lunar sample collection tool; employed
on the mission or In trainh;g, including
scoops, tongs, core sample tub;';, and a box
that held the lunar rocks; and a selection
of guidance and navigation equipment-
computer, star charts, etc.
Also on view is a display of health and
hygenic materials used on tie voyage--a
medical kit, human waste disl.oFal systems,
shaving gear and toothbrushes end a selec-
tion of the freeze dried and canned foods
and drinks that were part of Vie Apollo life
support system. Replicas of .he American
flag planted on the moon during the Apollo
11 mission and the plaques left on the moon
by the Apollo 11, 12 and 14 crows are on
display, as well as a photographic exhibit
that allows the viewer to see dose-up stereo
photos of the moon's surface.
