It can be seen that the primary structure bearing the launch load is quite different
while the primary structure bearing the landing impact load is mostly trussed structure
by the lunar lander launched and to be launched in other countries. The most important
feature of the trussed structure is its capability to withstand concentrated loads.
Landing impact loads are usually acted to the structure in the form of concentrated
loads through the landing cushion mechanism [9, 10].
