A lunar lander is a spacecraft designed to land on the surface of the Moon. It is equipped with technology to safely descend and touch down, often carrying scientific instruments, equipment, or astronauts. The lander must navigate the Moon's uneven terrain and manage its speed to ensure a soft landing. Lunar landers have been used in various missions, including those from the Apollo program, which successfully landed astronauts on the Moon. Modern lunar landers are being developed for future exploration, including missions by NASA and private companies, aiming to study the Moon's resources and prepare for potential human settlement.
