[i]I found a [URL=http://www.ninfinger.org/models/apollo/cm17o.html]1996 photo[/URL] online of the Apollo 17 forward heat shield (Apex Cover) at the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center, but I couldn't confirm online on their [URL=http://www.cosmo.org/]website[/URL] that it's still there. You have to believe that there are more Apex Covers in museums or wherever, but without access to artifact inventories, this would be difficult to determine. I searched the Air and Space Museum [URL=http://www.nasm.si.edu/collections/browseobjects.cfm]collections inventory[/URL] and no Command Module Apex Covers/Forward Heat Shields are listed. Also, NASA photo [URL=http://www.apollomissionphotos.com/index_apollo_501.html]S-67-49856[/URL] shows the Apollo 4 Apex Cover during recovery operations.[/i]
