Astrovan

The Astrovan — formally the Astronaut Transfer Van — is the vehicle NASA used to ferry crews from their quarters at Kennedy Space Center to the launch pad. Its most iconic moment came in July 1969, when it carried the Apollo 11 crew on their final drive before the first Moon landing. A vehicle of this type is on display in Toulouse, likely at or near the Cité de l'Espace, offering visitors a close look at a modest but historically charged piece of spaceflight heritage that rarely gets the attention of a rocket or capsule.
