Lunar Module 2

Lunar Module 2 was the second spacecraft built by Grumman Aerospace for use in the Apollo program. Originally, it was supposed to have flown in space, but the flight of Lunar Module 1 during the Apollo 5 mission was so successful that a second unmanned flight was considered unnecessary. Instead, Lunar Module 2 was used in drop tests to evaluate the performance of the landing gear. This craft is very similar to Eagle (Lunar Module 5), which carried Apollo 11 astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin to the surface of the Moon in 1969.
