The Lunar Module (LM) was the lunar landing vehicle used in the Apollo missions to the Moon (1969-1972). The LM on display at the National Air and Space Museum is LM2. Dr. Robert Craddock of the National Air and Space Museum's Center for Earth and Planetary Studies describes some of the key decisions that led to the use of the Lunar Module, its design, and some of the features of the Museum's Lunar Module 2.
