Astronaut Stuart Roosa can be seen in the centre of the photograph (photo no. 1108-KSC-69P-40), testing an escape capsule two months before the Apollo 9 flight. The ‘Slide Wire’ on this capsule was a slide system enabling the evacuation of a crew of three astronauts and six members of the umbilical tower staff from the rocket, a distance of 670 metres west of the launch pad, to take refuge safely in a bunker. NASA photographs, 20 × 25 cm, captioned on the reverse and numbered 108-KSC-69P-40, 108-KSC-69P-41, 108-KSC-69P-42, 108-KSC-69P-43.
