On July 25, 1962, NASA invited 11 firms to submit proposals for the LEM. Of the 11 invited, 9 submitted proposals. The firms that submitted proposals were Lockheed, Boeing, Northrop, Ling-Temco-Vought, Grumman, Douglas, General Dynamics, Republic, and Martin Marietta. Grumman was the winner. This model is owned by the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Long Island NY.

On July 20, 1969, NASA's Apollo 11 Lunar Module "The Eagle " landed men on the moon for the first time. The Eagle was gently lowered to the lunar surface by the TRW-built Lunar Module Descent Engine (LMDE). Six LMDE's landed modules on the moon. LMDE also thrust the aborted Apollo 13 and its crew into a safe return trajectory. Advertisement from: TRW Space and Technology Group. TRW Inc. 1989.

NASA Apollo Model - LEM - LCM & Capsule - 1/48 Scale Model

Model of the 1962 Republic Apollo LEM proposal. Loving the type on this. The bottom two images are concepts by competing manufacturers. On July 25, 1962, NASA invited 11 firms to submit proposals f…

Photos celebrating the remarkably inventive and daring spacecraft known as LEM, from the drawing board to the Apollo 11 mission.

In the first week of March 1969, NASA's Apollo 9 mission saw the Lunar Excursion Module (LEM) getting its first full orbital workout as the US sprinted the last lap of the race to be the first on the Moon.

Photographer- Yale Joel Time Life. REMASTERED by Dan Beaumont. Grumman.co INFO: This is an early (c 1962) module of the Lunar Excursion Module (LEM). Excursion would latter be dropped because, it made the moon landing sound frivolous. At the time this module was made the astronauts sat in seats to fly the LEM and got to the lunar surface by climbing down a rope. This LEM proved to be too heavy and did not fit well into the Saturn 5 rocket. APOLLO: "The Lunar Module story" by Grumman co. (1989) VIDEO: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjDdu7WzjQw

Here are some images of Dragon's 1/48 scale Grumman LM (Lunar Module) Eagle used in the Apollo 11 landing. From Wikipedia" The Apollo Lunar Module (LM), also known as the Lunar Excursion Module (LEM), was the lander portion of the Apollo spacecraft built for the US Apollo program by Grumman to carry a crew of two from lunar orbit to the surface and back. Six such craft successfully landed on the Moon between 1969–1972. The LM, consisting of an Ascent stage and Descent stage, was ferried to lunar orbit by its companion Command/Service Module (CSM), a separate spacecraft of approximately twice its mass, which took the astronauts home to Earth. After completing its mission, the LM was discarded. In one sense it was the world's first true spacecraft in that it was capable of operation only in outer space, structurally and aerodynamically incapable of flight through the Earth's atmosphere. The LM got a later start on its design than the CSM, due to the initial unpopularity of the lunar orbit rendezvous strategy. Its development was also plagued with several hurdles which delayed its first unmanned flight by about ten months, and its first manned flight by about three months. Despite this, the LM eventually became the most reliable component of the Apollo/Saturn system, the only one never to suffer any failure that significantly impacted a mission,[1] and in at least one instance (LM-7 Aquarius) greatly exceeded its design requirements by maintaining life support for astronauts after an explosion damaged the Apollo Service Module.
