Lunar Module Hatch

Here is Buzz Aldrin exiting the Lunar Module during Apollo 11, the hatch was square in to accommodate the Portable Life Support System (PLSS). It was not just an oxygen tank, it was a fully integrated, wearable spacecraft that provided a pressurized, breathable atmosphere, removed waste, and regulated temperature. #apollo #nasa #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari

Lunar Model

The lunar module design underwent gradual evolution from the first configuration proposed by Grumman in 1962. This model is the 1964 version. The configuration of the initial vehicle used with the Lunar Landing Research Facility (LLRF) was changed in 1967 to more accurately reflect the standing position of the astronauts, cockpit arrangement, instrumentation, controls and field of view. #lunarmodule #apollo #nasa #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari

Lunar Roving Vehicle

Here is an artist's concept illustrating the deployment sequence of the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) on the Moon. It was a collapsible open-space vehicle about 10 feet long with large mesh wheels, anterna, appendages, tool caddies, and cameras. Powered by two 36-volt batteries, it has four 1/4-hp drive motors, one for each wheel. The LRV was used on each of the last three Apollo missions. #nasa #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari #apollo
