The landing gear system is for a spacecraft adapted to perform soft landings on lunar or terrestrial surfaces. The landing gear structure includes a plurality of legs suitable for truss type construction connected to a shroud extending circumferentially around the base of the spacecraft. The legs are pivotally connected to the shroud so that during flight they are retracted and are extendable preparatory to performing a landing on the lunar surface. The shroud is connected to the base of the spacecraft by energy absorbing elements.
