Virgo II

The Virgo II lunar lander "Valiant 11" is a world object in Fallout 3.

Background
The space vehicle was used in the first manned lunar landing mission, touching down on July 16, 1969. The crew of this USSA spacecraft consisted of Captain Richard Wade, Captain Mark Garris and Captain Michael Hagen, who became the first humans to walk on a celestial body other than Earth.

The crew of the Virgo II left behind a flag that was later picked up during the final manned flight to the moon by the crew of the Virgo III lander "Valiant 12" in 2052. The flag survived on the surface for that duration due to special materials designed to withstand the harsh environment of space.

Characteristics
The Virgo II is on display in the Museum of Technology in Washington, D.C.. During the quest Galaxy News Radio, Three Dog will send the Lone Wanderer to recover the Virgo II dish from the lander in order to improve the signal strength of his broadcast.

Behind the scenes
A similar lander can be seen in the mural in the Museum of Freedom.
