Preparations for dynamic stability tests of the Apollo Command Module and its launch escape system are observed by NASA engineer Bobby W. Sanders at Lewis Research Center, Cleveland, Ohio. A scale model of the command module in which three astronauts will ride during their journey to the moon, and their launch escape systems are undergoing tests in Lewis' 8 x 6 foot transonic wind tunnel.
