![]() | TheApollo Lunar Module was thelunar lander that was flown betweenlunar orbit and the Moon's surface during the AmericanApollo program. Ten Lunar Modules were launched into space between 1968 and 1972. It was the first crewed spacecraft to operate exclusively in space, and remains the only crewed vehicle to land anywhere beyond Earth. Incapable of flight through Earth's atmosphere, thetwo-stage spacecraft was ferried to lunar orbit attached to theApollo command and service module, about twice its mass. Its crew of two flew the Lunar Module from lunar orbit to the Moon's surface. During takeoff, the spent descent stage was used as a launch pad for the ascent stage which thenflew back to the command module, after which it was also discarded. This photograph, taken byNeil Armstrong during theApollo 11 mission in 1969, showsBuzz Aldrin removing equipment from the Lunar ModuleEagle on the surface of the Moon atTranquility Base.
