James McDivitt or Russell Schweickart (Apollo 9)
The CSM Gumdrop in Earth orbit pointing toward space, 3-13 March 1969
Vintage chromogenic print on fiber-based paper, printed 1969, with "A KODAK PAPER" watermark on verso, numbered "NASA AS9-24-3633" (NASA MSC) in red in top margin, 20,3 x 25,4 cm
A magnificent photograph of Gumdrop seen against the dark background of space with the blue Earth 145 miles below.
The mission afforded the opportunity to test the CSM (Commande and Service Modules) and the LM (Lunar Module) in Earth orbit conditions before going to the Moon on later missions and to take the first photographs of both spacecraft in space.
Strong but light, the Command and Service Module would protect the crew during their launch and journey, and on their fiery return to Earth.
