Incorporating the historic Apollo CSM Spacecraft News Reference, this unique document provides extraordinary detail about America's Apollo Command and Service Module. Every major component and system on the incredibly successful CSM is covered in detail. It provides one of the best technical, nuts-and-bolts descriptions of the CSM available. From the docking system to the Service Propulsion System engine, every part of the Command Service Module is described. It is a genuine treasure-trove of facts and historical information about man's greatest engineering achievement. If you are fascinated by the Apollo era, you'll want this spectacular report!

The Command Module (CM) was the control center for the Apollo spacecraft, providing living and working quarters for the three-man crew for the entire flight, except for the period when the Lunar Module descended to the Moon for landing and return. The cone-shaped CM was the only part of the spacecraft that returned to Earth from space.
