Apollo 7 Command and Service Modules (1:72 scale by Dragon 50374-03)
Apollo 7, launched by NASA, orbited the earth from 11-22th October 1968 with three crewmembers aboard. It was a significant mission since it came immediately after a fatal launch pad fire aboard the ill-fated Apollo 1 rocket. It was also the first manned launch of the Saturn 1B launch vehicle and the first use of a three-man crew. The orbit of the Block II Apollo Command/Service Module (CSM) allowed the crew to test out critical life support, control and propulsion systems. Deemed a technical success, NASA launched Apollo 8 two months later on the first manned orbit of the moon. Because of the test nature of the mission, Apollo 7 was not carrying a lunar module for its flight.
Comes with stand and attacheable thruster jets and comms dishes.
1:72 scale (approx. 14cm / 5.5in long) - made by Dragon.
