The chapter opens with a discussion of the lunar landing system, which involves a reverse-propulsion landing on the surface of the moon, followed by a descent to a landing pad on the lunar surface. The landing pad is used to launch the capsule to orbit, and the capsule is left behind on the moon to be retrieved when the capsule reaches the surface
