Summary

Description
English: This map shows locations of hardware from Project Apollo that are on display on Earth. Saturn V rockets are indicated with a 'V'. Command Modules, Service Modules and Lunar Modules are indicated with an icon. Command Modules that flew astronauts in space on Apollo missions are marked with their mission numbers, with 2, 3 & 4 indicating Skylab missions.

The general coloring scheme is that spacecraft that flew through the Earth's atmosphere (either all the way to the Moon, or to Earth orbit or suborbital) are outlined in BLUE. Spacecraft that did not leave the Earth's surface are outlined in GREEN. Mockups and replicas are outlined in YELLOW. The key gives more details (but does not give a comprehensive listing due to area constraints).

Artifacts that had been displayed, but later moved to a different location are depicted as faded, and are encircled.

Three large areas have a blue perimeter, and these are for the main NASA centers of the Marshall Spaceflight Center (MSFC), the Johnson Spaceflight Center (JSC) and the Kennedy Spaceflight Center (KSC).

Skylab is on display at four locations: JSC, MSFC, The Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum (in Washington DC) and also in Australia where parts from the actual Skylab had landed after its orbit had decayed.

Rockets from the Apollo Program on display include the Saturn V (indicated with a capital 'V' for complete rockets, and a lower case 'v' for just the 1st stage), the Saturn IB (indicated with 'IB") and the Saturn I (indicated with 'I'). There are four complete Saturn V's on display, with two at MSFC, one of these being a replica. This replica is the only Saturn V display that is in a vertical 'launch' position. CSM's that are marked with a '(v)' indicate that these are part of the Saturn V display. Those marked with a 'LJ' indicate that they are paired with the Little Joe booster that was used to test the launch escape system.

Black lines point to the precise locations on the map. If no black line is shown, then the precise location is at the top tip of Command Modules, or the bottom of the middle leg for Lunar Modules. The Apollo 1 Command Module is not open for public display, so it is depicted as enclosed. Also depicted as enclosed are F-1 engine parts that have been salvaged from the Atlantic Ocean in recent years. Public display of these flown engine parts is planned after conservation efforts are concluded.

Three examples of Soviet spacecraft are depicted on this map, and that is because they are displayed as combined Apollo-Soyuz exhibits. All other items presented on this map are US space hardware.
