Most lunar modules eventually crashed back into moon once they weren't needed anymore. They were separated from the Command/Service Module and left in lunar orbit. This orbit would decay and the ascent stage would impact the moon's surface. Some of the seismology sensors set up on the moon's surface were able to record this impact.
The lunar module from Apollo 13 is in the Pacific Ocean. Because the lunar modules have a radiation source, the one in the Pacific Ocean is monitored to see if it is causing any contamination. Apollo 9's lunar module never left low Earth orbit, it presumably burnt up in Earth's atmosphere.
One of the Lunar Modules is actually in orbit around the Sun. For some reason, Apollo 10's ascent stage was sent on a course that would take it out of lunar orbit. It is still out there today in what is called an "extremely chaotic orbit."

What was the job of the Lunar Modules and where are they now?
The Lunar Modules were spacecraft designed to land astronauts on the moon during NASA's Apollo program. They were left on the moon's surface after each mission, so they are still there today, with no plans for retrieval.
What was the name of the command module that first landed on the moon?
Command modules did not land on the moon. The Lunar Exploration Modules (LEM) did.
What are modules in space?
Modules in space refer to individual components that make up a spacecraft or a space station. These modules can include living quarters, laboratories, or equipment that serve specific functions in space. Modules can be connected together to create a larger structure that can support astronauts and scientific research in space.
How many different types of Lunar Modules actually landed on the moon?
There has been six different types of actual Lunar Modules that have actually landed on the moon from the year 1969 all the way to the year 1972. The first Lunar Module to land on the moon was the famous Eagle which was taken to the moon via the Apollo 11.
Why did the Apollo space craft command and service modules stay and orbit around he moon?
There was a remote chance that a lunar lander might not be able to take off from the surface. Staying in orbit ensured that at least one of the crew had a good chance of returning in the event of a disaster.

Did a space ship land on the moon?
Yes, the lunar landing modules from Apollo missions 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17.
How many module land on lunar since 1969?
There were 6 lunar modules to land on the moon.
What are the three modules in the Apollo spacecraft?
The Apollo spacecraft has three modules the Service module, the command module and the lunar module.
What was the name of the command module that first landed on the moon?
Command modules did not land on the moon. The Lunar Exploration Modules (LEM) did.
What is the energy source for the lunar rover?
The lunar rovers used electrical energy. The fuel cells that supplied energy to the command and service modules needed to be started on earth. There is no way to restart a fuel cell once in space. So, the lunar lander, the LEM, and the lunar rovers all had to use stored electrical energy.
Is the lunar module at the Smithsonian?
Yes, there is a Lunar Module at the Smithsonian, which never flew. No lunar modules which landed on the moon ever made it back to earth.
What was the first space shuttle to safely transport astronauts to the moon?
The answer is none, the only astronauts who have been to the moon got there in various Lunar Modules, all of which were launched on Apollo rockets.

In which of the spacecrafts modules did Armstrong and Aldrin land on the moon?
The Lunar Module, or LM
What is the biggest space ship that ever landed on the moon?
