Try to achieve a safe landing by reaching the surface (where the altitude is 0 m) with a velocity in the range of -5 m/s ≤ v ≤ 0 m/s. While the command module Columbia orbited the moon, mission control in Houston. As the module approaches the surface of the moon, use the sliders to change to exhaust velocity and fuel consumption rates and thereby adjust the thrust which propels the rocket upward. The spacecraft reached the moons orbit, 244,930 miles from earth, by July 19. Use the slider below to set the initial altitude of the lunar module and click "Play" to begin its descent. After taking off from Kennedy Space Centre in Florida on July 16th the lunar module Eagle landed on the moons surface. Its total mass is 10334 kg, with 8200 kg accounting for the fuel and the remaining 2134 kg accounting for the module itself. The mass of the module in this simulation is based upon the averages for NASA's Apollo Lunar Modules. The Hakuto-R Mission 1 lander, a small robotic spacecraft built by Ispace, likely crashed into the lunar surface during the landing attempt. If either of these rates is 0, the net thrust will also be 0 and the module's downward acceleration due to gravity will be unimpeded. Live out your astronaut aspirations by landing a lunar module at the Armstrong Air and Space Museum and step aboard a Space Shuttle at the National Museum. In this simulation, the thrust is given by the product of the exhaust velocity (the speed at which combustion gases exit the propelling nozzle) and the rate of fuel consumption. The module must fire its thrusters as it descends, counteracting the downward acceleration due to gravity and thus reducing its speed as it nears the surface. The next day, at 1:46 p.m., the lunar module Eagle, manned by Armstrong and. In order to safely land a lunar module, it must have a speed near 0 m/s as it touches down on the moon's surface. On July 20, 1969, two American astronauts landed on the moon and became the.
