Apollo 10’s Lunar Module (LM) was nicknamed “Snoopy” (after the Peanuts character) for its “snooping around” the Moon’s surface during the May 1969 dress rehearsal for the lunar landing, while the Command Module was named “Charlie Brown”.
Don’t forget about the Snoopy Award NASA presents to employees who excelled in their fields of endeavor. The awards are flown in space and presented by a flown astronaut. Charles Schults designed it. He also provided some original artwork that the crew of Apollo 10 carried to the moon.
and i think we can all understand why no part of the mission was named “Lucy” ...
Snoopy today is the official mascot of the NASA astronaut corp.
