Title: Line drawing of layout of Scietific Instrument Module of Apollo 16
Description:
A line drawing illustrating the layout of the Scietific Instrument Module 
(SIM) of the Apollo 16 Service Module. Shown here is the location in the
SIM  bay of the equipment for each orbital experiment. Arrows point to
various  components of the SIM bay. The sensors for the gamma ray
spectrometer and the  mas spectrometer both extend outward on a boom about
25 feet when the  instruments are in use. The subsatellite is launched
while the Service Module  is in orbit around the moon. The film cassettes
must be retrieved prior to  Command Module/Service Module separation.
