The LLRV was a critical, high-risk simulator used at the Flight Research Center (now Armstrong Flight Research Center) to train Apollo astronauts for the final descent to the lunar surface. Neil Armstrong famously credited the LLRV for the success of the Apollo 11 landing, stating that without the training it provided, he might not have been able to land the Lunar Module manually.
