Originally scheduled
to fly with the Apollo 15 mission, it was replaced by LM-10 when it was
decided to move into a J-Series "extended stay" Lunar Module instead of
LM-9's H-Series configuration. Now on display at the Saturn V Center
at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, it is displayed "as built by
Grumman" and is supposed to be ready to be able to go to the Moon (except
it is missing the landing radar heat shield and the surface contact probes
on the footpads). It is suspended from the museum's roof by
four cables, attached to the landing gear outriggers. These are the same
mount points used to attach the Lunar Module to the Saturn V's Spacecraft
Lunar Module Adapter. |
