The "crowned jewel" of the Cradle of Aviation Museum, The LM-13 was intended for the Apollo 19 mission to Copernicus Crater in 1973, which was ultimately cancelled. It is presented in a re-created lunar surface scene as part of an exciting multi-media program. A simulated lunar surface, suspended Earth, and theatrical lighting complete the scene. In all, six Lunar Modules landed on the moon. Three remaining Lunar Modules that did not go to the moon, are still in existence today and housed at Smithsonian's Air & Space Museum in Washington D.C., The Kennedy Space Center in Florida, and the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Garden City, NY. The LM-13 weighs 8,600 lbs. The Lunar Module was often referred to as "the moon bug".
