Lunar modules still in orbit?
On Nov 9, 8:11 pm, wrote:
What ever happened to the Lunar Modules once they were no longer needed for the apollo missions? Do we have 7 of them in orbit around the moon right now? If not, how were they jettisoned in a way that ensured they would not stay in some lunar orbit? Anyone with thoughts on possibilities? Stan Go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_Lunar_Module And you will find a list of which modules flew on which missions and their fates. Of the flown LM ascent stages, the only one that didn't crash into the Moon, or burn up in Earth's atmosphere ( A 5, 9, 13 ), would be the Apollo 10 Ascent Stage, which was fired into a solar orbit after being jettisoned.
