lander's
Moon module's possessive
Lander's is the possessive form of lander—either the spacecraft component designed for planetary or lunar surface landing, or a person who lands.
The possessive typically refers to the spacecraft: the lander's instruments detected water ice, the lander's descent took seven minutes.
Less commonly, it marks possession by someone named Lander.
