Apollo Lunar Module J-mission configuration

The J-mission Lunar Module configuration supported the extended Apollo 15, 16, and 17 surface expeditions. Compared with the earlier H-mission lander, it carried more consumables and descent propellant, longer-stay thermal provisions, expanded scientific payload capacity, and the Lunar Roving Vehicle. LM-10 Falcon, LM-11 Orion, and LM-12 Challenger all landed successfully.
