Detailed explanation-1: -A lunar lander or Moon lander is a spacecraft designed to land on the surface of the Moon. As of 2021, 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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lander spacecraft: A spacecraft designed to reach the surface of a planet or moon and survive long enough to telemeter data back to Earth. It may perform a powered descent and landing or may descend to the surface suspended from a parachute.

Detailed explanation-3: -The spacecraft lander is a protective “shell” that houses the rover and protects it, along with the airbags, from the forces of impact. The lander is a strong, lightweight structure, consisting of a base and three sides “petals” in the shape of a tetrahedron (pyramid-shaped).

Detailed explanation-4: -: one that lands. especially : a space vehicle that is designed to land on a celestial body (such as the moon or a planet)

Detailed explanation-5: -Other well known landers The Cassini-Huygens project involved launching a lander (Huygens) to Titan from the orbiter Cassini. Huygens beamed back images from its descent by parachute and the surface. The Mars Exploration Rovers were two landers that were designed to be mobile and travel around the planet.

Detailed explanation-6: -What is the difference between a rover, a lander, and an orbiter? Rover: Is a vehicle that moves around in the planet or astronomical object. Lander: A space craft that lands softly and then stays there at rest and does all other functions which it has to do. Orbiter:Orbits plants or astronomical objects.
