The Lunar Module (LM), named \u003cem\u003eEagle\u003c\/em\u003e, was designed to carry two astronauts down to the Moon and return them safely to the orbiting CSM.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin separated \u003cem\u003eEagle\u003c\/em\u003e from \u003cem\u003eColumbia\u003c\/em\u003e and descended to the Sea of Tranquility while Michael Collins remained in lunar orbit.

It came from several specialized machines working together with almost unbelievable precision. The Lunar Module could land on the Moon but couldn’t return to Earth, while the Command and Service Module could bring the crew home but couldn’t land. This model captures the view when those two remarkable spacecraft were united. With four metal sheets and plenty of intricate components, it’s a demanding build—but the finished Apollo stack makes a spectacular display.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fascinations","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50825372663947,"sku":"PLL-CSM-WTH-LM-MTL-RTH","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/7028\/6987\/files\/0007847_apollo-csm-with-lm.jpg?v=1792632458","url":"https:\/\/bracken-observatory.com\/products\/apollo-csm-with-lm-metal-earth-3d-model-kit","provider":"Bracken Observatory®","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
