This was a small rocket affixed to the top of the command module. Its purpose was to lift the astronauts to safety in the event of a catastrophe during the launch stage. Many are of the opinion it would probably not have achieved that result due to the size and ferocity of a Saturn rocket explosion. In fine condition. RRAuction COA.
