Command and Service Module (CSM) viewed from the Lunar Module (LM) before docking. The Scientific Instrument Module (SIM) Bay. The instruments of the SIM bay are well displayed. To the right of the SM is Asada, formerly Taruntius A, a 12-km crater. Just visible on the left of the frame is the northeastern rim of the dominant crater of this area, Taruntius (Apollo Flight Journal).
