lander
This term is used exclusively within the context of aerospace and planetary exploration. It describes a spacecraft designed to descend from orbit and come to a controlled stop on the surface of a celestial body. This distinguishes it from an orbiter, which remains in space, or a rover, which is the mobile vehicle often deployed by a lander.
In technical discourse, the lander is often the primary delivery system. While a rover is designed for traversal, the lander provides the necessary braking mechanisms, such as parachutes or retro-rockets, and serves as the stationary base of operations for scientific instruments.
