Apollo command module hatch
Apollo command module hatch. This hatch was redesigned after the Apollo 1 preflight test fire, to make it easier to open. The fire killed all 3 crew members on board. The Apollo 1 door opened inwards and took a minimum of 90 seconds to open due to several latches that had to be operated by ratchets.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Apollo command module hatch, a significant piece of history in space exploration. Following the tragic Apollo 1 preflight test fire that claimed the lives of all three crew members on board, this hatch underwent a crucial redesign to enhance its accessibility and safety measures. The previous inward-opening door was replaced with an improved version that could be opened more swiftly and efficiently. The photograph captures this iconic hatch displayed at the National Air and Space Museum in Dulles, Washington DC. Its presence serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those early pioneers who ventured into space. With its intricate latches operated by ratchets, opening the original Apollo 1 door took a minimum of 90 seconds – precious time that proved fatal during that fateful incident. As we gaze upon this still life image, we are transported back to an era when technological advancements were being forged amidst great risks and challenges. It symbolizes both triumphs and tragedies within NASA's Apollo program, which aimed to conquer new frontiers through lunar exploration. With its rich historical significance and profound impact on space technology development, this photograph encapsulates the spirit of human ingenuity and determination. It stands as a testament to our relentless pursuit of knowledge beyond Earth's boundaries while honoring those who paved the way for future generations' endeavors in manned spaceflight.
