		The total mass of the module was 15,264 kg with the majority of that (10,334 kg) in the descent stage.
		Aquarius served as a refuge for the astronauts during their return to Earth orbit, while its batteries were used to recharge the vital re-entry batteries of the command module that brought the astronauts through the Earth's atmosphere and to a safe spashdown on April 17, 2005.
		The Lunar Module was the portion of the Apollo spacecraft that landed on the moon and returned to lunar orbit.

	Lunar Module (LK)
		The Lunar Lander, or LK, was developed as a part of the L3 lunar expeditionary complex carried aloft by the N1 rocket.
		The LK was designed to deliver a single cosmonaut onto the lunar surface, after its separation from the lunar orbital spacecraft, in orbit around the Moon.
		LK and LOK spacecraft dock in the lunar orbit.

	Clavius: Vehicles - lunar module stability
		The conspiracists' insistence that it poses a special problem for the lunar module is evidence of their lack of education and experience with rocket science.
		The active forms of stabilization are very important to the lunar module's design because there is no air to push against fins and realign the rocket if its axis points in a different direction than its flight path.
		The lunar module had two stages, one used for the descent and another for the return to lunar orbit and rendezvous with the command module.

		The mission of Apollo 10 was to conduct all phases of Apollo spacecraft operations except the actual lunar landing, including rendezvous and docking between the CSM and LM in lunar orbit and descent of the LM to within 50,000 feet of the moon's surface.
		The fourth successful manned lunar landing, this was also the first of the Apollo J missions capable of a longer stay on the lunar surface and the first to carry the LRV.
		Falcon rejoined the CSM on the latter's 50th lunar orbit and the particles and fields (PandF) subsatellite was released on the 74th orbit.

		Grumman Apollo LM The Apollo Lunar Module was the lander portion of the Apollo spacecraft built for the US Apollo program to achieve the transit from Moon orbit to the surface and back.
		It consisted of two stages—the descent stage module and the ascent stage.
		The Apollo Lunar Module came into being because NASA chose to reach the moon via a lunar orbit rendezvous (LOR) instead of a direct ascent or Earth orbit rendezvous (EOR) (see Choosing a mission mode for more information on the available rendezvous types).

		A lunar module test article was mounted in the spacecraft/launch vehicle adapter for mass loading purposes.
		The most significant change was the replacement of the forward pressure and ablative hatches with the combined forward hatch, which was required for intravehicle transfer to the lunar module on later missions.

	July: Seeing the Lunar Module (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Although the HST is a powerful instrument, and has no atmosphere to contend with, a lunar module at 376000 km is just too small an object at too great a distance.
		Hubble has been aimed at the lunar crater Copernicus, and although the image was very detailed the theoretical limit of resolution is about 85 metres - not nearly small enough for the task.
		This photograph was taken from the Apollo 17 Command Module, orbiting about 100 km above the lunar surface (about ¼ of the altitude of the International Space Station above the Earth), and is the remarkable climax of a sequence of progressively more detailed lunar surface images on the website "Exploring the Apollo Landing Sites".
