dsc05885.jpg

Detail of the forward heatshield and the Launch Escape System (LES) tower attach point (hole to the bottom right) and LES tower electrical connector (red connector towards upper left). For a picture of the tower electrical connector cable, refer to dsc49365.jpg of the CSM & SLA pictures of the Saturn V at Johnson Space Center (Space Center Houston being JSC's official visitor center).

At the extreme bottom left of the picture is the docking tunnel.

The Kapton tape on the forward end of the heatshield near the docking tunnel is silver like the rest of the Command Module; the green color is due to the reflection of the LUT segments & crane forward of the CSM.
