What does lunar module mean?
The Apollo spacecraft had two parts, the Command Module and the Lunar Module. The Lunar Module was designed to land on the moon, and to take off to lunar orbit, to a rendez-vous with the Command Module. So it was composed by two parts: the lander, and the ascender. The lander served as a base to the lauching of the ascender.
How did the astronauts go from the command module to the lunar module?
They got out in space and climbed into the command module. The top of the crafts connected together in space. I wonder how it was possible though, because their suits were so big and it was enough room for the life support units on their back. This answer below is not the correct answer to your question. The command module and lunar module have a docking bay, the Lunar module at the top of the module itself and the command module at the peak of the cone. the command module is the only part of the command/service module and lunar module that actually returned to earth. The lunar modules were jetisoned after the linkup from the lunar excursion and eventually crash landed on the moon. the service module, once separated from the command module burned up on reentry into the earth's atmosphere when the Earth's gravity caused it's orbit decayed enough. Most of the command modules for the Apollo Lunar Missions are housed in the Smithsonian Air and Space museums in Washington, DC and Dulles, VA. although there are a few in other places (Houston, Florida).
What role did the lunar module play in the Apollo 13 mission?
An explosion caused the Apollo Spacecraft (the Command Module) to lose electrical power generation. It could operate for a while on batteries but they were needed for reentry and would not last that long. So, the crew powered down the Command Module and moved into the Lunar Module. Since they were on the way to the moon when the explosion occurred they had to continue to the moon, swing around it and eturn to Earth. The crew stayed in the Lunar Module until nearing time to reenter. Had the not had the Lunar Module as a place of safety they would not have survived.
How many astronauts were there in Apollo 11?
Every manned Apollo mission carried a crew of three. For Apollos 7-17, they had the titles of Commander (CDR), Command Module Pilot (CMP) and Lunar Module Pilot (LMP). The Commander and Lunar Module Pilot flew the Lunar Module while the Command Module Pilot remained in the Command Module. "Lunar Module Pilot" was somewhat of a misnomer as the Commander actually piloted the LM while the LMP acted as a flight engineer on both the Command Module and Lunar Module. The Skylab and Apollo-Soyuz missions did not have a lunar module so the third crewmember had a different title (Science Pilot or Docking Module Pilot, respectively). The Apollo 11 crew consisted of CDR Neil Alden Armstrong, CMP Michael Collins and LMP Edwin Eugene 'Buzz' Aldrin, Jr. Armstrong and Aldrin landed on the moon while Collins remained in lunar orbit.
Did the lunar lander return to the command module?
Yes, the lunar lander returned to the command module after completing its mission on the moon. The astronauts aboard the lander transferred back to the command module using the ascent module before heading back to Earth.

What are the three parts of the Apollo spacecraft?
Oh, dude, the Apollo spacecraft has three main parts: the command module, the service module, and the lunar module. The command module is where the astronauts hang out, the service module has all the boring stuff like engines and fuel, and the lunar module is the cool one that lands on the moon. So, like, those are the three parts you gotta know about.
What was Michael Collins job on Apollo 11?
As the lunar module was a two maned spacecraft, with a job to take the astronauts to the moon, and to return to the command module,so Michael Collins orbited the moon waiting for then to return.
Is the Apollo 11 lunar module still in orbit around the moon?
Ah, that's a wonderful question. The Apollo 11 lunar module has completed its mission and is no longer in orbit around the moon. Imagine all the beauty it saw during its time up there, inspiring others to dream big and explore the wonders of the universe. Keep looking up! Enough facts already!
Why do frogs have thin skin?
the frog has thin skin so moisture can escape through its skin instead of the frog having to waste time doing its business
What was Buzz Aldrin's role in the Apollo 11 mission?
Buzz was the lunar module pilot taking charge of the lunar module on its descent to the moon. Michael Collins was the Command Module pilot who commanded the module that did not descend to the moon's surface but remained in orbit around it. Neil Armstrong, of course, was the captain. Both Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong had a schedule of tasks to do when on the surface including gathering rocks, and setting up experiments and equipment, many of which are still providing data today. All of these tasks were pre-arranged of course and pre-distributed between them so that both Neil and Buzz could complete their mission like clockwork, as they only had a set amount of time available on the surface(becauuse of the life support systems limited useful time, and in order to make a rendezvous with the command/service module on their return) and so any time had to be used wisely and without waste.
How does a Saturn V rocket work?
Saturn V lifts off, clears the tower, then when in space, it will separate the bottom, again and again, then the command and service module pop out the top. Form there, the Lunar module (aka: lunar lander) will be picked up from the commend module's top. from there, the service module will boost the space crafts to the moon, and will detach. the Lunar module will land softly on the moon with it's boosters. After being on the moon, the space craft will boost its self up. The lunar module pilot will attach them selves to the command module. Next, the astronauts will command the service module to boost them selves so far. Then they will separate; first, the Lunar module, then the service module, then they will reenter. At the last moment, the astronauts will release the parachutes, finally, they will splash down in the south Pacific. From there, a crane will pick them up and onto a concrete dock. The astronauts come out.
