Film Cassette Retrieval: Simbay Diagram

Film Cassette Retrieval: Simbay Diagram

This illustration, taken from the J-mission Apollo News Reference, shows the layout of the SIM bay. The V over H sensor is to the lower right of the Panoramic Camera's lens. Though difficult to see on this picture, its plume shield is like a lens hood projecting forward. During the EVA, Al will engage his feet in the foot restraint to the left. Facing right, he will have access to the majority of the bay, particularly the film cassettes which he must retrieve (NASA).
