Command and Service Module
The Apollo spacecraft will be a modified version of
the Command and Service Module (Cv1) flown during
the
first several lunar landing missions. Major CSM modifi-
cations include provisions for experiments, additional
propellant tanks for the reaction control system and
addition of controls and displays required for the the
operation of the Docking Module and docking system. proper

Docking Module and Docking System

The Docking Module is cylindrical. approximately

1.5 meters (about 5 feet) in diameter and 3 meters
10 feet) in length. (about
It will serve as an airlock
internal transfer of crewmen between the differentfor the
atmo-
spheres of the Apollo and Soyuz spacecraft. The Docking
Module will be equipped with radio and TV communications,
antennas, stored gases, heaters, and the displays
controls necessary for transfer operations. and

The Docking Module is designed to handle two crewmen

simultaneously. Hatches having controls on both sides
be installed at each end of the module. A universal will
docking system will be located at the Soyuz end of
the
module and will be capable of functioning with similar
components on the Soyuz-type spacecraft. The Apollo
of the Docking Module will use the probe and drogue end
system used during the Apollo lunar program to permitdocking
docking between the Command Module and Lunar Module.
In orbit, Apollo's atmosphere is pure oxygen at a
pressure of five pounds per square inch. Soyuz uses
mixture of nitrogen and oxygen at an Earth sea level a
pressure of 14.7 pounds per square inch. (Later
NASA
spacecraft such as the Space Shuttle will use nitrogen-
oxygen at sea level pressure.)

While the spacecraft are docked, the Soyuz

will be reduced from its normal 14.7 pounds per pressure
square
inch to 10 pounds. This will make it possible for
men to transfer from Soyuz to Apollo without taking crew-
in the airlock to breathe pure oxygen and force time
from their blood. Apollo pressure will remain atnitrogen
five
pounds.

The signal will be bounced back and scanned in the

Apollo spacecraft to study the effects of the sun on
atomic oxygen and nitrogen at orbital altitudes. These
observations are important for a better understanding of
the chemistry and the energy balance of the upper atmosphere.
Data from these experiments could lead to a better under-
standing of the evolution of stars, of the emission pro-
cesses which could lead to new methods of energy genera-
tion, and of the interaction of the upper and lower atmo-
sphere where weather is generated.
The experiments in the field of applications and
technology will investigate the space processing of new
material samples in zero gravity utilizing an improved
multipurpose furnace, and make earth observations to
determine detailed gravity features and geological struc-
tures which could indicate the presence of oil and mineral
deposits. Also included is an experiment in electrophore-
sis processing. An electric field is used to separate
living cells and other biological materials from a flowing
medium without decreasing their activity. It is expected
to determine whether the near zero gravity conditions
enhance a similar process now involved in work by the Max
Planck Institute in Germany.
Successful demonstration by ASTP could lead to further
development of space electrophoresis in Shuttle missions
as a tool for medical research and therapy and contribute
to such fields as immunology and cancer research.
The life sciences experiments include extension of
work done in the Apollo and Skylab programs, such as
additional study of the phenomena of the cosmic light
flashes observed by flight crews and studies of the effects
of zero gravity and radiation on organisms. Studies will
also be conducted on pre and post flight astronaut blood
samples to determine, among other things, immunity reten-
tion. There are also joint US/USSR life science experiments
planned, such as an experiment designed to determine the
degree of transfer of micro-organism and microflora between
crew members and the two spacecraft involved in this mission.
This experiment is designed to take advantage of a mission
involving two spacecraft launched from widely separated
ground environments.

Following Gemini 9, Stafford served as backup commander
for Apollo 7.
He was spacecraft commander of Apollo 10, May 18-26,
1969, the first comprehensive lunar-orbital qualifi-
cation and verification flight test of an Apollo lunar
module. Stafford was accompanied on the flight to
the Moon by John W. Young (command module pilot) and
Eugene Cernan (lunar module pilot). In accomplishing
all mission objectives, Apollo 10 confirmed the opera-
tional performance, stability, and reliability of the
command/service module/lunar module configuration
during translunar coast, lunar orbit insertion, and
lunar module separation and descent to within 8
nautical miles of the lunar surface. The latter
maneuver employed all but the final minutes of the
technique prescribed for use in an actual lunar landing
and permitted critical evaluations of the lunar module
propulsion systems and rendezvous and landing radar
devices during completion of the first rendezvous and
re-docking maneuvers in lunar orbit. In addition to
demonstrating that man could navigate safely and
accurately in the Moon's gravitational fields, Apollo
10 photographed and mapped tentative landing sites
for future missions.
In his three space flights, Stafford has completed
five rendezvous and logged 290 hours and 15 minutes
in space.
As Chief of the Astronaut Office from August 1969
through May 1971, he was responsible for the coordina-
tion, scheduling, and control of all activities in-
volving NASA astronauts. Gen. Stafford was named
Deputy Director of Flight Crew Operations in June 1971.
In this management capacity, he assists in directing
the activities of the Astronaut Office, the Aircraft
Operations Office, the Flight Crew Integration Division,
the Crew Training and Simulation Division, and the Crew
Procedures Division.

Gen. Stafford will command the United Stlate flj ht
