Lunar modules were mainly used to land on the moon and then to return tto the main spacecraft. The lunar modules are all on the moon.
Command modules did not land on the moon. The Lunar Exploration Modules (LEM) did.
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.
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."
The command and service modules stayed in orbit around the moon to provide communication and life support for the astronauts on the lunar surface, as well as to ensure a safe return journey back to Earth. They acted as the link between the lunar module and Mission Control on Earth.
Some spacecraft that have successfully landed on the moon include the Apollo lunar modules from the Apollo missions, the Soviet Luna landers, and the Chinese Chang'e landers. These missions have provided valuable data and samples from the lunar surface.
There were 6 lunar modules to land on the moon.
The Apollo spacecraft has three modules the Service module, the command module and the lunar module.
Command modules did not land on the moon. The Lunar Exploration Modules (LEM) did.
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.
The Lunar Module, or LM
There are six moon landers or lunar modules on the moon , Apollo 13 failed to land on the moon.
Apollo 911.
The names of the modules for each craft involved in the mission depend on the specific mission being referenced. For example, in the Apollo lunar missions, the key modules were the Command Module (CM) and the Lunar Module (LM). In the context of the Mars missions, the primary modules include the Orbiter, Lander, and Rover. Please specify the mission for a more detailed answer.

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.
hi its me Armstrong back from the dead
