Block II logic module design was a radical departure from Block I. A multilayer printed board provided interconnections for 60 flat-pack dual Micrologic gates. Each logic module held two boards, 240 gates, which doubled the packaging density. Following the all-welded construction guidelines, Block II logic gates were welded to the multilayer board’s bonding pads.

The landing gear on "Spider" has been deployed. Lunar surface probes (sensors) extend out from the landing gear foot pads. Inside the "Spider" were astronauts James A. McDivitt, Apollo 9 Commander; and Russell L. Schweickart, Lunar Module pilot. "OK, let's change the tires!" - Pistol Grip Tool in use.Astronaut Thomas D.

Parazynski, mission specialist, works with cables associated with the Space Station Remote Manipulator System (SSRMS) or Canadarm2 during one of two days of extravehicular activity (EVA). Parazynski shared both space walks with astronaut Chris A. Hadfield of the Canadian Space Agency (CSA). The Augmented Target Docking Adapter (ATDA) as seen from the Gemini 9 spacecraft during one of their three rendezvous in space. The ATDA and Gemini 9 spacecraft are 66.5 ft. apart. Failure of the docking adapter protective cover to fully separate on the ATDA prevented the docking of the two spacecraft. The ATDA was described by the Gemini 9 crew as an "angry alligator."
