North American Apollo CSM | | 3" | | 1" |
A spacecraft which possesses something of an ungainly appearance, NASA's Lunar Module is definitely one of the most instantly recognisable vehicles designed by man, thanks to the historic Apollo 11 moonwalk which took place on 20th July 1969. Incapable of flight in earth's atmosphere, the Lunar Module took humans to the surface of the moon and brought them back to the orbiting Command. Built for NASA by North American Aviation, the Apollo Command/Service Module was first launched on January 20, 1966 during the A-004 flight that comprised the final test of the Apollo launch system. One of two spacecraft used for the Apollo program, the Command/Service Module (CSM), along with the Lunar Module, was used to land astronauts on the moon. The two part system included the disposable Service Module, which provided power, propulsion and storage and was cast off prior to re-entry, and the Command Module, which housed the crew and the equipment necessary for a successful re-entry and splashdown at the end of a mission. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
