    The Apollo Lunar Module was the part of the Apollo Spacecraft that landed on the moon. The LM was split up into two parts - the ascent stage and descent stage. For the landing, both parts went to the surface of the moon. When it's time the leave only the ascent stage leaves the surface. The descent stage has fuel and oxidizer tanks in the center compartments. Equipment was also stored in the outer corners - these were called quadrants. They stored items such as the Lunar Roving Vehicle, scientific experiments, a camera, and water and oxygen tanks. The ascent stage was where the astronauts lived. It had the controls, two windows, more equipment, a docking hatch, and the engine to leave the lunar surface.

    1:58 The Lunar Module actually played a very very very important role in Apollo 13. After the o2 tank explosion which crippled the command module Odyssey, the astronauts, with no other choice, shut it down and powered up the Lunar Module, Aquarius. They used the LEM oxygen supply to survive, and used its descent engine to get on a free-return trajectory. If this had happened on a mission such as Apollo 8, with no LEM, the crew would have for sure died.

      You should be proud. It might have been the most challenging of all the many design challenges Apollo had to overcome. A manned spacecraft that would takeoff and land only in the vacuum of space, a pure SPACE craft, had never been built and has never been built since. It required a completely unique approach. And the minuscule weight budget they were given made it all the more difficult. But they pulled it off and it landed 6 times and saved the Apollo 13 crew. It was Grumman’s finest engineering achievement.

    The fuels for the LM was a hyperbolic type, which when combined cause a superheated steam jet. The 'fuel' was aerozine a highly corrosive liquid. The oxidizer was nitrous oxide N2O4. When combined there was an explosive reaction. My dad was an electrical engineer at Grumman. He was involved with the LM project, when I was 10 years old he brought me into plant 5 to see the high bay white room with almost all of the LM 's in a row. LM 1 was already tested at this time on the apollo 5 unmanned mission to test the vehicle in space.

      Correct, apollo5 (LM2), had no legs or life support systems, was used only to test decent, ascent, and reaction rockets. Also the test of inertial guidance. LM3 was tested in earth orbit by 2 astronauts. Tested all systems and maneuvering and docking with the Apollo9 capsule. It was not light enough to take the astronauts off the moon. LM4 was light enough to bring the astronauts off the moon but was used in lunar orbit to test the navigation equipment as well as inertial guidance in low gravity.

      The Volkswagen was invented by the same country who developed the A4/V2 rocket motor (head designer = Korolev). It's telling that the F-1 main engines in the SaturnV were of considerably inferior design to the V2 rocket motor.
      The Germans used a double walled chamber like all rockets do today while Rocketdyne were still brazing thousands of tiny tubes together. Nothing about the SaturnV was particular advanced which is why NASA scrapped it as soon as the Apollo series of novels were finished.

    When you see the lunar lander in person it is very large. It is much bigger than the impression you get watching it on a screen. As a matter of fact everything about Apollo is on a very large scale when you see it for yourself at NASA. The first stage engines are incredibly large and are the most powerful engine ever built! They never failed either and it just blows my mind how much fuel the fuel pumps could pump a second. The engines were throttleable and moved to change the angle of thrust to keep the rocket flying straight.

I was machinist for 23 years specializing in wire EDM, so I used to use an early version of cad/cam to create geometry for whatever shape I had to cut. But anyway, talking about how big Saturn Rocket is when you see it in person, I forgot to say how big the Lunar rover is in person also, and it folds up into a small shape that fits in the Lunar Landers only available space on the decent stage. They land, go outside to the back of the L.E.M. open a outer door, pull on a rope that's inside, and the Lunar rover pops out and unfolds itself into a pretty good sized car or dune buggy with 4 wheel steering and 4 wheel drive and it was a great machine to get around on. I think the last mission they drove around over 75 miles during a 3 day mission, in 1972!!!, we had the coolest space ships, moon buggys and a reliable system to get large payloads to the moon to build a moon base, which was a original mission goal. They already paid for the research and production of this incredible machine so the rocket got alot cheaper because now they just had to build them, design and testing is over and we have 3 fully completed Saturn Rockets ready to go! All we had to do was figure out what we wanted to put on them and go to the moon. That's why it doesn't surprise me our smart government used the excuse that it was getting to expensive to keep launching and building Saturn Rockets when it was to the point where everything had been perfected, all they had to do is build them, and we could do that pretty fast now, we already built around 20 or more and 3 completed, ready to go!! But this amazing thing we actually pulled off, very successfully doing this in the 60s, dune buggys on the moon and all !!! Ya know, let's cancel it and not take advantage of this incredible,reliable machine we managed to build and build an even more expensive space shuttle, and we can reuse the shuttle but after a space flight it has to be overhauled, which was way more expensive than the Apollo Saturn mission single use ships, can't leave orbit or go anywhere like the moon, but it looks and lands like an airplane. And managed to kill a decent amount of astronauts. It just eats me up inside!! That's why Vonbraun quit being the head of NASA. They lied to him, they said get us to moon and we will build bases so we could build a space ship as big as we want and travel our solar system. He saw what was happening moving to the space shuttle that can't go anywhere. He quit NASA and was dead 2 to 3 years after the last visit to the moon.

All of the other LEM ascent stages launched were deliberately crashed into the moon. The sound waves of their impacts were recorded by instruments left on the moon. This was done to get a better understanding of the geology of the moon.

    Every good answer spurs another question. The Ascent Stage had a docking window to help alignment for docking with the Command Module. From The Earth to The Moon episode called Spider tells the story of the process quite nicely. They decided to lose the seats, large bubble windows, and second docking hatch to save weight. Initially, they believed that the LM would need to have a Docking Window for the Commander to dock with the CSM, but it was easier for the Command Module Pilot to dock with the LM Ascent stage in the same manner it had already been done when extracting the LM from the upper stage.

    The LM was an amazing vehicle. Humanity's first true dedicated spacecraft, she never suffered a major failure nor caused a fatality. The Apollo 13 LM, Aquarius, served as the lifeboat to save the astronauts after the command module oxygen tank explosion. As someone from NASA described it, on Apollo 13, the LM's performance "greatly exceeded" its design specifications. The Grumman employees who designed and built them should rightfully be very proud.

    My best friends dad was in charge of the wiring for the LEM. Anyone who lives in Bethpage calls it the LEM.
    The ascent stage mixed a combination of fuel that when combined created the thrust, no pumps, no igniter. Each egine was a throw away engine, meaning it could never be used again after it was fired
    The ascent and decent stage was connected with wiring that ran through a guillotine. As soon as the rocket fired the explosive guillotine cute the wires to allow it to separate. If that failed or the engine failed, the astronauts would be stranded. My friends father had to stay at the plant until the astronauts were safely aboard the command module.
    I lived in Bethpage across from the plant where they built the LEM. Did you know they always built two of them that were identical? If something went wrong, the engineers could use the one on the ground to help correct the problem.
    After the moon landing, Grumman pushed the secondary LEM into the parking lot and spray painted it camo green. I used to see it out there every day. It was so sad to see it out there in the rain, snow etc.
    Grumman waa bought out by Northrop, they closed the plant, layed off 100s of thousands of employees, sold some of the land to developers, ripped up the runway they had (they landed a Grumman Guppy there to xport the LEM to NASA) the huge hangers are now used as a sound stage for movies. The HQ building is used by a cable company. It brings a tear to my eye every time I see the plant. Leroy Grumman built a wonderful company and Northrop ruined it

      Right and wrong. Mylar is boPET and kapton is polyimide, two different polymers so none of them is made from the other. And it's aluminum instead of gold. The blankets on Apollo was probably aluminized mylar but aluminized kapton has been used on other space hardware. I say probably mylar because googling it gives references for both mylar and kapton on the LM descent stage. Since the lead designer of the LM, Tom Kelly at Grumman wrote in his book "Moon lander, how we developed the Apollo lunar module" that it was mylar, I it really was mylar. (See page 174, the section "Where the action is".)
      Oh shit, even in this document written by Grumman and published by NASA, they seem to confuse mylar and kapton: www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/LM04_Lunar_Module_ppLV1-17.pdf
      It says "polyimid (mylar)" but polyimide is not mylar but kapton. Then I don't know whom to believe anymore. They talk about some "H-film" as a more heat tolerant alternative to mylar that was also used. I wonder if H-film was kapton. Then I think they used both mylar and kapton and only used the kapton for the hottest places.

Matter of fact Neil Armstrong would have preferred to cut the engine higher than the 5 feet as planned. They were not sure how far they would sink into the lunar soil and were concerned that if the landing legs pads sank to far in the lunar surface while the engine was running the engine might have contacted the surface and exploded. Everything however worked as designed and the 5 foot long Lunar Surface Sensing Probes alerted the crew with Armstrong announcing “Contact light, Engine stop”. One of the things the Hoax nuts like to point out is there is little blast disturbance in the lunar soil under the engine bell. I had an opportunity
      to meet Buzz Aldrin and asked asked about it and he said that they were hovering at around 10’ feet and reduced power to basically idle and just settled down on the surface .

    Nicely done video! If you understand the workings of the Lunar Module (the four-legged moon lander), you generally will understand how the other parts of each Apollo mission worked, from launch to return to Earth. It's also interesting to see where the lunar rover car was stored (in the later moon missions), and what was under the LM's other bumps and quadrants.
    Some may wonder why NASA decided on a lunar lander at all -- Why we didn't simply land the main Service Module on the moon and skip the Lunar Module? The answer is that, if the Service Module was going to land on the moon and later lift off, taking the astronauts directly back to Earth, that Service Module would been so much heavier and complicated. Using the lightweight Lunar Module allowed a much easier lunar landing and take-off.

    Yeah, my understanding is that the fuel that was used on the descent stage was a binary type of fuel,
    And all that needed to happen was that the two fuels needed to dO was make contact with each other and they would react making a combustible mixture that would serve as a propellant ,
    Even though the spacecraft was in a vacuum environment,
    That
    Fuel mixture didn’t have to be ignited,
    It was a self starting mixture,
    Definitely a weight saving strategy ,
    No extra electronics involved,
    Just the two chemicals needed to mix with each other in order to ignite,
    Plus my understanding is that those chemicals were safe as long as they were separated from each other,
    So they were safely transported
    Aboard the various spacecraft without any danger to the crew or the various spacecraft involved ,
    Because the two chemicals had to make contact with each other in order to ignite,
    Definitely some awesome chemistry,
    Not to mention some awesome engineering ,

      The fuel was "aerosin-50", a mixture of asymmetric dimethylhydrazine with pure hydrazine in a 50/50 ratio, and the oxidizer was diazote tetraoxide. Naturally, it was not carried on different ships, the fuel components were in different fuel tanks of both the LM and the Apollo KSM.

    Thank you, this is the best video that I have ever seen of the detailed breakdown of the LEM. When I was in elementary school during the 1960s, the space missions were extremely interesting. Like many other children at the time, I wanted to be an astronaut. My father worked at Dover Air Force Base and took us kids to a loading dock where one of the Mercury capsules had been received for transport to the Smithsonian. My father said that occasionally the astronauts would fly into Dover to get fitted for spacesuits at nearby International Latex Corporation (ILC). I once talked with a woman that worked at ILC as a seamstress on the spacesuits. She said Gus Grissom and two other astronauts told her and some other seamstresses that they were taking them to lunch. When one of the seamstresses said that her boss would be upset, apparently Gus Grissom insisted and they went to lunch. I speculate that the other two astronauts with Grissom were Ed White and Roger Chaffee. Tragically, those three astronauts died during an Apollo ground test when a spark ignited the capsules Oxygen rich environment. Well, I never became an astronaut but while in years later, I read a book titled, "The U.S. Navy Submarine School". It sounded as if it was the closest that I may ever get to many of the same technologies that are used in space and I became a commissioning crewmember of a nuclear submarine.

      Regarding astronauts, did your mom make you a pretend space suite, and a cardboard luner lander, did you pretend to be on the moon too? Did she get any pictures to prove that you were pretending to be on the moon, like nasa presented to the world nearly fifty years ago? Have you got any jokes about pigs flying over white houses?

One of the questions I had for him was regarding the speech he gave his flight team just before Apollo 11 began it's descent to the moon. (If you're not familiar look it up). I asked if he planned that amazing speech ahead of time or if he just winged it ... "just winged it" he said. I asked one of his flight controllers (Jerry Bostick) who was there that day about it, and he said it was the perfect words and was exactly what they needed. One of the most historic moments in NASA history and he just winged it. And nailed it. That's a badass dude!

      @@dubsy1026 Not quite true. The Space Shuttle and all the various space stations have been fitted with airlocks. The main reason airlocks are used is when the atmosphere in the spacecraft is an air mix (oxygen and nitrogen). Space suits use oxygen only so it is safer when performing an EVA for the astronaut to spend time in an airlock acclimatising his/her body to pure oxygen before venturing outside. Otherwise, they could get "the bends".The Gemini and Apollo spacecraft used oxygen only atmsopheres when in space, so no acclimatisation was required before an EVA.

      @@dennis9707 They had hammocks they could sling across the inside which helped things a little bit. The main problem was trying to sleep whilst still wearing the EVA moonsuit. The suit had metal rings around the collar and cuffs and quite strong elastic bungees inside the arms which made them very hard and painfull to wear. Eventually, NASA gave the crews permission to take off the suits and try to sleep just wearing their undergarments.
      Another issue was internal noise. There were buzzes, hisses, creaks and groans all the time as the radio and instruments were left on and the cabin flexed and moved as it reacted to the heat of the sun.

    Mylar is grey, not orange. It was used on the LM, but only in enclosed areas where the temperatures weren't too extreme. The stuff on the outside is actually aluminized Kapton, a wide-temperature plastic that gives it that gold color.
    The two propellant tanks on the ascent stage were the same size (volume). The oxidizer is denser than the fuel, so they had to be mounted asymmetrically to maintain the proper left-right weight balance.

Your other video that demonstrates how the L[e]M got from being below the command module in the Saturn V assembly, to the nose of the command module & connected was also something I was grateful to have animated clearly!! - I didn’t know if the crew space walked to the door of the LM & climbed in because I kept thinking the connection was too small to accommodate the movement. Thank you for taking the time - I’ll be sharing with a few of my adolescent relatives who are eager to get my completed models of these craft.
