In 1970 the ascent stage of LM-2 spent several months on display at the "Expo '70" in Osaka, Japan. LM-2 was used for ground testing prior to the first successful Moon-landing mission. Because the test flight of LM 1, performed as part of the Apollo 5 mission, was so successful, a second unmanned LM test mission was deemed unnecessary. LM 2 was built for a second unmanned Earth-orbit test flight. The lower descent stage had the landing gear and contained the descent rocket engine and lunar surface experiments. The upper ascent stage consisted of a pressurized crew compartment, equipment areas, and an ascent rocket engine. The Apollo Lunar Module (LM) was a two-stage vehicle designed by Grumman to ferry two astronauts from lunar orbit to the lunar surface and back.
