 s by promising we would put a man on the moon and return him safely to Ear
 th before the end of the decade. Grumman bid on\, and lost\, several of th
 e ensuing competitions for Apollo hardware. But in l962\, the lunar excurs
 ion module was awarded to Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation - the l
 ast major contract to be awarded by NASA. This is the story of the backgro

 s Lunar Module achievements\, aircraft historian Rene Francillion stated t
 hat "the Grummanites’ greatest technological and human achievement\, wil
 l undoubtedly be remembered by the public long after Wildcats\, Avengers\,
  Hellcats\, Panthers\, and Tomcats have been forgotten by all but aviation
  enthusiasts." Ms. Lovisolo will discuss the design and manufacture of the
