Author	Topic: Apollo Command Module Earth Landing System
rdmeyersr New Member Posts: 5 From: Pearland, Texas USA Registered: Jan 2014	posted 11-18-2014 01:33 PM Does anyone have any closeup images of the upper Apollo command module bay above the hatch where the drogue chutes and the chute line guillotines were located? I'm really interested in seeing how everything fit together. Schematics or line drawings would be greatly appreciated.
