Check the listing for details. Replica Apollo Spacecraft Docking probe, 1/8 Scale. Condition: New. Listed at 39.99 USD. "We won't be landing on the Moon if we can't get this thing docked!" - Possible comment from Commander Alan Shepard on Apollo 14, as Command Module Pilot Stuart Roosa sweated for almost two hours trying to get the Command Module docking probe to engage with the Lunar Module in January 1971. Thankfully, after many tries (and re-writing the checklist), Roosa was able to achieve a "hard dock," and the mission proceeded normally. Of course, Murphy's law was at work, and when the probe was returned to Earth, it worked perfectly fine! (It was also the only docking probe ever returned and reused.)Presented here is a 1/8 scale model of this historic piece of space hardware, used on every Apollo mission 1968-1972. Highly detailed in gray and silver, from the actual docking ring to the "soft capture" latches at the tip, to the gas cylinders that retract the probe, this will look good in any space collection. If you want a pretty accurate portrayal of how docking worked, check out this scene from the movie Apollo 13:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMsr1uk9gFsAnd if Apollo 13 had been unable to dock, we would have gotten back three dead astronauts...Another video explaining docking in excruciating detail:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4drYZcMY9jU Custom made of 3D printed plastic; will show visible layer lines.Soda can is for size reference and is not included... But you knew that!Note: No, I have no plans at present to make the matching drogue; it would be boring anyway.
