Does anyone know or know of a site where I can find out the completion or cancellation dates for each Apollo command module? |

I have several Apollo spacecraft reports which contain start and delivery dates for Apollo boilerplates and testing and delivery dates for both Apollo CSMs and LMs if this of use to you? I will write this when I return from holiday. |

For online resources the first points of call for me would be Richard Orloff's "Apollo By The Numbers" and the four volumes of the Apollo Chronologies. All are available on the NASA History Office website. |

I have those dates for CM-107 used for Apollo 11 if needed.For example, 107's structural assembly started on July 5, 1966. Checkout assembly was completed on Dec. 6, 1968 and six weeks later on Jan. 22, 1969, 107/"Columbia" was shipped from Downey, CA, to Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The weight of 107 at launch was 12,260 pounds, but with 10,960 pounds at splashdown, which included about 52 pounds of lunar rock samples.
