Lunar Module

The Lunar Module (LM) 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. The module was also known as the LM from the manufacturer designation (yet pronounced "LEM" from NASA's early name for it, Lunar Excursion Module). Carried the Lunar Rover (LRV) on Apollos 15 through 17.
