In 2007, after the  command module had sat untouched for over 30 years, NASA engineers used it for studies on the spacecraft's life-support adapter assembly<ref name="historyfuture">" [http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/constellation/orion/umbilical_inspection.html Using History to Design the Future]" NASA, retrieved March 9, 2011</ref>&nbsp;– the projecting aerodynamic fairing that allows oxygen, water, and electricity to flow from the Service Module to the Command Module.  This was in support of the design and construction of a similar system on the new [[Orion spacecraft]], which resembles the Skylab Rescue configuration.{{Gallery|width=240|height=150|align=left|File:CSM-119 Skylab Rescue.jpg|alt1=A metallic gray space capsule connected to a cylindrical module lies on its side as a museum exhibit|CSM 119 on display at the [[Apollo/Saturn V Center]]|File:Saturn IB at KSC.jpg|alt2=A large white rocket, with the letters U, S and A written vertically down it in red, lies on its side outdoors|AS 209 on display at the [[Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex]]}}
