CSM CONTRACT.
Value of the North American Rockwell Space Division contract with NASA's Manned Spacecraft Center on the Apollo program is approximately $2,996,000,000 ($2 billion, 996 million) as of February 3, 1968. The total is expected to approach $3.3 billion by July 31, 1970.
The Apollo contract is for development and fabrication of 49 manned or test spacecraft command and service modules, 30 boilerplate (engineering test) vehicles, and 23 full-scale mockups, as well as production of accompanying spacecraft-LM adapters, 5 test fixtures, 4 Apollo mission simulators, 3 evaluators, 5 trainers, 2 miscellaneous spacecraft-LM adapters, and tracking and ground support equipment.
The following lists of major end items produced by the Space Division under the Apollo contract is separated into spacecraft, boilerplates, mockups and other items. The numbers (internal designation) are those assigned to each item by North American Rockwell for development and fabrication purpose. The numbers are not consecutive. For example, the list skips from SC 002 to SC 004. In cases such as this, the contract originally called for a SC 003, but the vehicle later was deleted. Any number missing in a sequence was originally in the contract, but later was deleted. A letter designation following a spacecraft number (i.e., SC 002A) indicates a general refurbishment and re-use of that spacecraft. The use, site, and plan shown for each item is that planned at the time of printing; all of these are subject to change.
