Apollo-Soyuz Test Project Display |
The Smithsonian displays a mockup of the two joined spacecraft from the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project. I saw the actual, flown ASTP command module in Kennedy Space Center's Apollo/Saturn V Center, where it was displayed for a number of years; it was moved to Los Angeles in the summer of 2005. The docking module joining the Apollo and Soyuz spacecraft is the flight's backup DM. I have additional information on the docking module on my docking module mockup page at Stafford Air & Space. I also have a page on the history of the ASTP display, including photos of the display at the Paris Air Show, in the Kennedy Space Center Vehicle Assembly Building, and during the construction of the current NASM display. As of now, I have not yet sorted through all of my pictures of the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project display, but some other page references this location. Thus, this is a "place holder" version right now, with only the pictures actually referenced. Come back some time later to see if I've finished up, or drop me an email to request me to prioritize the rest of these pictures.
