Lander (Moon lander)

A Moon lander is a specialized spacecraft designed to descend from orbit and safely touch down on the lunar surface. It uses engines and navigation systems to control its descent, ensuring stability and safety. Once on the ground, it can deploy instruments, collect samples, or support astronauts. After completing its mission, it may lift off again for return or remain as a stationary platform. The lander must handle challenges like uneven terrain, low gravity, and the vacuum of space, requiring precise engineering and advanced technology to ensure successful landing and operation on the Moon.
