“APOLLO COMMAND MODULE BOILERPLATE S/N 1207” A boilerplate is a metal mockup of the same external size, weight, and center of gravity as a flight production model. By using a boilerplate, characteristics of the spacecraft design and function could be evaluated without incurring the expense associated with using a more detailed model. This boilerplate (S/N 1207) was used at Patrick AFB to train Navy and Air Force personnel to recover Apollo capsules from the ocean.Height - 10 feet, 7 inches (3.2
