Apollo 8 command module by Gaël Wuithier

December 31, 2014

Suspensions are inspired by the command module of the Apollo 8 mission in 1968. The command module of the Apollo spacecraft was where the 3 astronauts spent their time during the mission, apart from when one of them went down on to the moon by means of a lunar module.

The external 12 branches wooden structure was conical in shape, assembled at the ends by 2 aluminium discs. Its high dome acted as a thermal shield keeping in the light source. On its way into the atmosphere the module gave off a fierce column of fire.
