Author	Topic: Models made for the Apollo simulators
holcombeyates Member Posts: 326 From: UK Registered: Dec 2010	posted 10-12-2024 08:37 AM I was looking to the cS community to help me to collect some images of Apollo scale models used in the Apollo simulator used to train all Apollo crews. This was before the days of CGI so scale models were made and commanded to move and rotate by computers in front of a tv camera. The image was then projected onto the simulator 'windows.' I have found this Skylab model, but there must be models of the Apollo command and service module, the complete lunar module, as well as the lunar module ascent stage and presumably the Soyuz for the ASTP mission? Internet searches aren't throwing up much hence this post.

I don't know if the items used in the sim training for the docking sequence were actual artifacts on loan or models built by Digital Domain, but they should be accurate.
