The Apollo spacecraft consisted of three parts or modules. The crew of three was housed in the Command Module (CM). This was cylindrical in shape. At its nose was a docking tunnel through which astronauts could crawl into other spacecraft whenever required to.
The third part of the spacecraft was the Lunar Module (LM), a spidery, four-legged craft that was to descend to the lunar surface with two astronauts. Before a landing on the Moon could be attempted this crucial part of the spacecraft had to be rigorously tested to make sure that it could separate and return and dock with the mother ship without a hitch. This comprised the main mission of Apollo 9 and then, Apollo 10.|
