The Heart of Apollo: Command/Service Module Over Our Planet

Suspended above Earth’s cloud-covered surface, the Apollo Command and Service Module (CSM) drifts silently in orbit. This spacecraft was the heart of the Apollo program, carrying astronauts safely to the Moon and back. The cylindrical Service Module housed propulsion, power systems, and life-support, while the conical Command Module served as the crew’s living quarters and reentry vehicle. Against the backdrop of our planet’s thin atmosphere and vast expanse, the CSM reminds us of the delicate balance between human engineering and the immense scale of space.
