Lunar Module Pilot

The Lunar Module Pilot (LMP) is a key crew member in a lunar mission, specifically on NASA's Apollo programs. The LMP's primary role is to assist in operating the Lunar Module, the spacecraft designed for landing on and taking off from the Moon's surface. Responsibilities include managing systems, conducting lunar landings, and supporting scientific tasks. The LMP works closely with the Commander, who directs the mission. Together, they ensure successful exploration and safe return, with the LMP often focusing on navigation and performing experiments during their time on the Moon.
