    3 Color Photographs of the Command Service Module during the Apollo Program
    .
    The Apollo command and service module (CSM) was one of two principal components of the United States Apollo spacecraft, used for the Apollo program, which landed astronauts on the Moon between 1969 and 1972. The CSM functioned as a mother ship, which carried a crew of three astronauts and the second Apollo spacecraft, the Apollo Lunar Module, to lunar orbit, and brought the astronauts back to Earth. It consisted of two parts: the conical command module, a cabin that housed the crew and carried equipment needed for atmospheric reentry and splashdown; and the cylindrical service module which provided propulsion, electrical power and storage for various consumables required during a mission. An umbilical connection transferred power and consumables between the two modules. Just before reentry of the command module on the return home, the umbilical connection was severed and the service module was cast off and allowed to burn up in the atmosphere.
    Photos have been trimmed down from their original 8x10 and are unevenly cut. All have small pinholes in the corners most likely due to pinned to a board. The largest of the three has crease/bend marks. The middle sized one had been torn in half and carefully taped back together at one point. See Close Up Photos for condition. All are original printed on A KODAK Paper.
    A Great Part of American Space Exploration History!
