	Apollo Lunar Module - Wikipedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The total mass of the module was 14,696 kg with the majority of that (10,149 kg) in the descent stage.
		The next LEM flight was aboard Apollo 9 using LM-3 on March 3, 1969 as a manned flight (McDivitt, Scott and Schweickart) to test a number of systems in Earth orbit including LEM and CSM crew transit, LEM propulsion, separation and docking.
		Apollo 10, which launched on May 18, 1969, was another series of tests, this time in lunar orbit with the LEM separating and descending to within 10 km of the surface.

	Project Apollo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Lunar Module itself was composed of a descent stage and an ascent stage, the former serving as a launch platform for the latter when the lunar exploration party blasted off for lunar orbit where they would dock with the CSM prior to returning to Earth.
		To learn lunar landing techniques, astronauts practiced in the Lunar Landing Research Vehicle (LLRV), a flying vehicle that simulated (by means of a special, additional jet engine) the reduced gravity that the Lunar Module would actually fly in.
		Two of the flights (Apollo 7 and Apollo 9) were Earth orbital missions, two of the flights (Apollo 8 and Apollo 10) were lunar orbital missions, and the remaining 7 flights were lunar landing missions (although one, Apollo 13, failed to land).

		Apollo 10 was a “dress rehearsal” for the landing missions that would follow and as such, it was a fully configured spacecraft.
		It should be noted, however, that the lunar module was an early design that could not be used for a landing as it was too heavy to return to orbit from the lunar surface.
		He was the pilot of Gemini 9, back-up pilot for Gemini 12, back-up lunar module pilot for Apollo 7, lunar module pilot on Apollo 10, and back-up commander for Apollo 14.

		The descent (lower) stage was equipped with a rocket motor to slow the rate of descent to the lunar surface.
		After the crew entered the command module for the trip back to Earth, the lunar module was released and eventually crashed into the Moon.
		Because lunar modules were designed to fly only in the vacuum of space, they did not have to be streamlined like an aircraft or carry a heat shield for protection during reentry.

	BBC - h2g2 - The Saturn/Apollo Stack - Lunar Module
		The Lunar Module (LM) was originally known as the Lunar Excursion Module until the 'excursion' part of the name was deemed too frivolous and dropped.
		NASA's considerations with regard to the lunar soil bearing strength demanded larger landing footpads and the new design would not fit within the confines of adapter housing, consequently this required the design to be modified to provide legs that could be extended from a folded position in flight.
		Electronic module were fitted to heat sink rails and thermal control was achieved by glycol water mixture circulated through attachment rails and radiators in the same manner as that in the command module.
