The attached images show a complete group of fuel cells recently added to the collection and actual footprint as they would have been configured on the Command Service Module Sector (Bay 4) shelf. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to an anonymous Collectspace member who aided with acquisition of the two additional fuel cells necessary to complete this sub-collection.

High res pics for each of the following images:

Wow!

Wow wow wow

I don't want you to answer but I just have to ask the question that's always on my lips when you showcase your latest acquisition -

Where do you find these things???????!!!!!!!

(And do they have any spacesuits?)

Cheers,
Matt

Fun stuff! You are now ready to power up your SM, just use caution when you stir your cryo tank.

Pratt&Whitney reports 89 delivered under the Apollo contract - by my count 51 were installed (Apollo's 1, 4,6, 7-17, ASTP, Skylab SM's and the backup CSM). That must leave a number unaccounted for (independent of Fuel Cells in museums) and possibly still circulating if not scrapped by UA upon termination of the contract.
