Hello all, I was curious if anyone out there knows the approx. diameter of the docking tube that sticks out of the top of a CM? I have been able to track down nearly every measurement on the craft except that one. Thanks in advance, Dana ------------------ Visit my Studios Website at http://www.GerathsDesign.com |

The CM was 32 inches but the docking drogue probe was 31.454 inches and made contact with a 'shelf/lip' inside the LM hatch - the two then be 'drawn together' and then seals making the final pressure tight connection.The diameter of the LM docking hatch was 32 inches - not to be confused with the LM hatch door which was 'square' and also 32 inches each side. | |
