The Structure of a Lunar Landing Module
This spacecraft design includes a rounded central crew cabin mounted above broad landing legs that cushion contact with the lunar surface. Positioned at the base of the vehicle is a large engine nozzle used during controlled descent maneuvers.
How Spacecraft Land on the Moon
Moon landers must rely entirely on rocket engines to slow down because the lunar environment lacks an atmosphere to create aerodynamic drag. Special landing pads attached to the bottom of the support legs distribute the weight evenly to keep the lander from sinking into soft dust.
