  • Apollo 11 Spacecraft Mass: Command, Service, & Lunar Module Weight
    The Apollo 11 spacecraft had three main components: the Command Module (CM), the Service Module (SM), and the Lunar Module (LM). Their combined mass varied depending on the stage of the mission, but here's a breakdown:

    * Command Module (CM):

    * Launch mass: 10,400 kg (22,900 lb)

    * Landing mass: 5,400 kg (11,900 lb)

    * Service Module (SM):

    * Launch mass: 24,500 kg (54,000 lb)

    * Landing mass: 2,100 kg (4,600 lb)

    * Lunar Module (LM):

    * Launch mass: 15,200 kg (33,500 lb)

    * Landing mass: 4,700 kg (10,400 lb)

    Therefore, the total launch mass of the Apollo 11 spacecraft was approximately 49,900 kg (110,000 lb).

    Keep in mind that these figures are estimates and can vary slightly depending on the source.
