Saturn V CSM & SLA (Davidson Center)

This page contains photos of the Saturn V's Command/Service Module and Spacecraft Lunar Module Adapter in its current home in the Davidson Center for Space Exploration.

I have so many pictures of the Saturn V in the Davidson Center that I divided them by stages: the S-IC (first) stage, the S-II (second) stage, the S-IVB (third) stage, the Instrument Unit (IU), and the Command/Service Module (CSM) and Spacecraft Lunar Module Adapter (SLA). I also have some overall shots of the Saturn V in the Davidson Center as well.

I have additional photos of the stage in its previous home in the Rocket Park, as well as photos from 2005 through 2007 as it underwent restoration and relocation. When displayed in the Rocket Park, the CSM and SLA were a single, integrated unit, with a plywood and fiberglass Command module. This was removed and the forward end of the Service Module was capped off, and Apollo command Module Boilerplate 23 (BP-23) which at the time was displayed in the Marshall Space Flight Center Rocket Garden retrieved and added to this display.

BP-23 was launched twice, first on the A-002 Little Joe II mission and then on Pad Abort 2 (PA-2). Both flights were part of the Launch Escape Tower qualification program.

BP-23 is NASM collection ID #A19800181000.

Also see my Apollo Command/Service Module resources.

As of now, I have not yet sorted through all of my pictures of the CSM and SLA in the Davidson Center, 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.
