What Does CM Stand For?
CM stands for Command Module
The Command Module (CM) is a critical component of a spacecraft designed for crewed missions. It serves as the primary living and control space for astronauts, housing essential systems for navigation, communication, and life support. The CM is responsible for maneuvering the spacecraft during launch, orbit, and re-entry, ensuring the safe management of various mission phases. Notably used during NASA's Apollo program, the Command Module played a vital role in human space exploration by enabling travel to and from the Moon.
