LM Oxidizer Line Articulated Bellows
  • Important part of the oxidizer line from the Descent Propulsion System oxidizer tanks to the engine.
  • Welded stainless steel segments
  • Would flex to allow settling of the tanks and engine without breaking the line, as the LM landed on the moon.
  • Designed to allow angular misalignment of +/- 5 degrees, axial (length) change of +/- 0.390 inches, and offset of up to 0.700 inches at landing.
