WASHINGTON DC — A full-scale model of the Blue Origin New Shepard crew capsule is displayed in the newly opened Futures in Space exhibit hall at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. The reusable capsule, designed to transport paying passengers on suborbital flights, represents the shift from government-only spaceflight to commercial space tourism. Blue Origin developed the six-person capacity vehicle with large windows to allow tourists to view Earth during their journey to space. The capsule is named for Alan Shepard, the first American astronaut to travel to space. The National Air-stock-foto

WASHINGTON DC — The Portable Life Support System backpack display at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum shows the life support technology that enabled Apollo astronauts to explore the Moon's surface independently of their spacecraft. The backpack provided astronauts with oxygen supply, cooling water circulation, carbon dioxide filtering, and communications equipment, essentially transforming the spacesuit into a self-contained spacecraft. This particular system weighs 125 pounds (57 kilograms) on Earth but felt significantly lighter on the Moon due to its one-sixth gravity. The colo-stock-foto

WASHINGTON DC — The Apollo Lunar Module LM-2 is displayed in the Boeing Milestones of Flight Hall at the National Air and Space Museum. This two-stage spacecraft was built by Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation for a second uncrewed Earth-orbit test flight that was ultimately deemed unnecessary after the successful Apollo 5 mission. Between 1969 and 1972, six lunar modules identical to this one landed 12 American astronauts on the Moon during the Apollo program.

WASHINGTON DC — The F-1 rocket engine exhibit at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum uses mirrors to replicate the visual arrangement of the five F-1 engines positioned at the base of the Saturn V rocket. This particular F-1 engine is an early test model built in 1963 that completed four start tests, burning for a total of 192.6 seconds before being transferred from NASA to the museum. The massive engine measures 18 feet 4 inches (5.6 meters) in length with a maximum diameter of 11 feet 11 inches (3.6 meters) and weighs 18,000 pounds (8,200 kilograms).
