Title: Location of Microbial Ecology Evaluation Device in Apollo Command Module
Description:
The location of the Microbial Ecology Evaluation Device (MEED) installed on 
the open hatch of the Apollo Command Module is illustrated in this 
photograph. The MEED, equipment of the Microbial Response in Space 
Environment experiment, will house a selection of microbial systems. The
MEED  will be deployed during the extravehicular activity on the transearth
coast  phase of the Aopllo 16 lunar landing mission. The purpose of the
experiment  will be to measure the effects of certain space environmental
parameters  on  the microbial test systems.
