TRW Incorporated Artist Concept depicting the Apollo XI Lunar Module (LM) descending to the surface of the Moon. Inside the LM will be Astronauts Neil A. Armstrong, Commander, and Edwin E. Aldrin Jr., Lunar Module Pilot. Astronaut Michael Collins, Command Module Pilot, will remain with the Command and Service Modules (CSM) in Lunar orbit. TRW's LM descent engine will brake Apollo XI descent to the Lunar surface. The throttle-able rocket engine will be fired continuously the last 10 miles of the journey to the Moon, slowing the LM to a speed of two miles per hour at touchdown. TRW Incorporated designed and built the unique engine at Redondo Beach, CA, under subcontract to the Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation, Bethpage, NY, the LM Prime Contractor. 1.
