Above is one of the U.S. lunar landers that have landed on the moon. The Lunar lander was something unimaginable to think come true. However it was possible and came to fruition in the end. Which was all thanks to Grumman Aerospace and Margaret Hamilton. Without these people there would have never been a successful safe moon landing. Man probably wouldn’t have walked on the Moon if not for them. Which is why they are just so important to the success of man landing on the moon.
The image above is a blueprint on a lunar lander. A lot of caculating and science went into the making of the lunar lander. The biggest struggle was wondering if it could land perfectely or would it crash due to the Moons gravity.
The image above is of an autronaut working on a lunar lander. He is on the moon making sure everything is working alright and won't go bad for their return.
This is an image of one a lunar lander being made. It is in a lab getting tested. Making sure that everything is safe and going as planned.
