Sanders at Lewis Research Center, Cleveland, Ohio (now NASA’s Glenn Research Center), as pictured in this 1964 photograph. A scale model of the command module in which three astronauts rode during their journey to the moon, and their launch escape systems underwent tests in Lewis’ 8 x 6 foot transonic wind tunnel. The tunnel simulated conditions the spacecraft encountered during a portion of its flight through the Earth’s atmosphere.Image Credit: NASA
