Title: Apollo 7/S-IVB Rendezvous in space
Description:
The expended Saturn IVB stage as photographed from the Apollo 7 spacecraft 
during transposition and docking maneuvers at an altitude of 126 nautical 
miles, at ground elapsed time of three hours, 11 minutes. The round, white 
disc inside the open panels of the Saturn IVB is a simulated docking target 
similar to that used on the lunar module for docking during lunar missions. 
The spacecraft is directly over Odessa-Midland, Texas. The view between the 
two panels (area of large puffy clouds) extends southwest across Texas into 
the Mexican State of Chihuahua. The distance between the Apollo 7
spacecraft  and the S-(VB is approximately 50 feet.
