Abstract
While the CSM was being assembled and tested in the MSOB high bay, the mission’s LM was also being processed. This chapter describes the LM processing flow. We will also touch on how the lunar rover was checked and integrated with the LM. Finally, we will see the LM and CSM come together into a completed spacecraft assembly.
