The Bell Aerosystems Lunar Landing Research Vehicle (LLRV, nicknamed the Flying Bedstead) [1] was a Project Apollo era program to build a simulator for the Moon landings.The LLRVs were used by the FRC, now known as the NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center, at Edwards Air Force Base, California, to study and analyze piloting techniques needed to fly and land the Apollo Lunar Module in the Moon ...
Lunar Lander is a genre of video games loosely based on the 1969 landing of the Apollo Lunar Module on the Moon.In Lunar Lander games, players control a spacecraft as it falls toward the surface of the Moon or other astronomical body, using thrusters to slow the ship's descent and control its horizontal motion to reach a safe landing area.

The Apollo Lunar Module (LM / ˈ l ɛ m /), originally designated the Lunar Excursion Module (LEM), was the lunar lander spacecraft that was flown between lunar orbit and the Moon's surface during the United States' Apollo program. It was the first crewed spacecraft to operate exclusively in the airless vacuum of space, and remains the only ...
The Lunar Landing Research Facility (LLRF) was an area at NASA's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia that was used to simulate Apollo Moon landings with a mock Lunar Module powered by a small rocket motor suspended from a crane over a simulated lunar landscape.
Apollo Apollo Lunar Module-5 Eagle as seen from CSM-107 Columbia. A lunar lander or Moon lander is a spacecraft designed to land on the surface of the Moon.As of 2024, the Apollo Lunar Module is the only lunar lander to have ever been used in human spaceflight, completing six lunar landings from 1969 to 1972 during the United States' Apollo Program.
While in lunar orbit, Firefly’s Blue Ghost lander captured an image of the moon’s south pole. The lunar lander entered the moon's orbit on Feb. 13 and plans to orbit the moon before attempting ...
The Lunar Lander concept was initially created in 1969 as a text-based game called Lunar, or alternately the Lunar Landing Game. [6] [7] Many further versions of the game were developed over the course of the next decade; by 1979 the style of game was collectively seen as its own subgenre.
