Apollo Soyuz Test Project Display

The Cosmosphere has an Apollo-Soyuz Test Project display. According to the Field Guide, the Apollo command module is JSC#2, a 1-G trainer. Cosmosphere president Jim Remar tells me that the service module is a replica fabricated by the Cosmosphere's SpaceWorks division. There's no indication as to the heritage of the Soyuz. The spacecraft are joined by a low-fidelity docking module. Refer to a higher-fidelity docking module mockup at Stafford Air & Space for additional pictures and additional information, or the ASTP display at the National Air & Space Museum for a look at the flight's backup DM.

The Cosmosphere's display is exceptionally difficult to photograph: It's in a relatively narrow hallway which is dimly lit but is lit by very bright spot lighting. In a number of cases, I've taken two photos, one exposed for areas in the shadows and another exposed for areas in the spot lighting.

Adding to the difficulty in photographing the display, there's a support column right down the middle of the docking module.
