Featuring an aluminum frame and a composite base, the window assembly includes the entire 4-inch depth of the Lunar Module's forward structure.

A notable feature of the window is the Landing Point Designator (LPD), a visual aid designed to assist in aligning the Lunar Module's trajectory with the intended landing site.
