Apollo Capsule Going in for Repairs


Workers at Patrick Air Force Base, Florida, guide the 9,000-pound Apollo Boilerplate #1206 onto a flatbed truck for transportation to a local refurbishment facility. On loan here to the Air Force Reserve's 920th Rescue Wing from the Smithsonian Institute's Air and Space Museum, the capsule was once used by Air Force rescue units to train for astronaut recovery during the Apollo and Skylab space programs.
