Ultrasonic modeling system for simulating lunar excursion module landing trajectory on lunar surface
Linearized error analysis of onboard primary navigation systems for Apollo lunar module
The lunar module (LM) landing phase is one of the most critical phases of the entire Apollo mission. Landing impact is of critical concern because at no other time during the LM mission is there less opportunity for vehicle control. To assure a successful landing, the alightment system must not only provide required shock attenuation for protection of crew and structure, but must also assure stability against overturning after touchdown. The paper discusses important design features of the alightment system, such as geometric arrangement, energy absorber characteristics, and deployment mechanisms. Performance characteristics of the vehicle at touchdown, as found analytically, are presented. Model and full-size testing of the landing system is briefly discussed.
