Apollo Spacecraft

Apollo Spacecraft
Is the design for the Apollo spacecraft (Apollo 11, 12, 13, etc.) the intellectual property of anyone?

Is the design for the Apollo spacecraft (basically a cone shaped nozzle, a cylindrical service module, and a cone shaped command module), the exclusive intellectual property of anyone, or is it public domain?

Being a work of the American government, I’d guess that the latter is the case.

PLEASE READ BEFORE REPLYING: Please reply only if you’re honestly knowledgeable on the subject, or can cite credible sources. Not to be rude or anything, but please, no half-baked unfounded guesses. ^^;

Yes the USA copyrights all design except when a private enterprise like Mc Donnell Douglas or GE would copyright their design and by contract the Government would basically lease it.~
