They mostly used thermal blankets to shield the equipment and the Lunar Module from the intense heat of the sun. The astronauts were protected from the heat by their space suit and with cooling water which flowed continuously through their undergarments.
No. No Apollo mission landed on the moon in 1997.
The Apollo 13 crew did not land on the moon due to an on-board explosion that caused a critical failure. Instead, they looped around the moon and returned to Earth safely with the help of NASA's ground control team.
Because Ken Mattingly, who graduated from Auburn, was on the Apollo team.
A total of 12 astronauts walked on the moon during the Apollo missions, from 1969 to 1972. Each Apollo mission had a team of astronauts, with two astronauts landing and walking on the moon's surface during each mission.
The team for Apollo 11 moon mission were Neil Armstrong,commander, Michael Collins command module pilot and Edwin Aldrin lunar module pilot.
The Apollo 12 astronauts who walked on the moon were Charles "Pete" Conrad and Alan L. Bean. They landed on the moon on November 19, 1969, as part of NASA's second manned mission to the lunar surface.
Apollo 11 was the product of a collaborative effort by NASA, which was led by a team of scientists, engineers, and astronauts. The mission was sanctioned by President John F. Kennedy in 1961 as part of the ambitious goal to land astronauts on the Moon before the end of the decade. The crew of Apollo 11 consisted of Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins, who made history with the first successful manned mission to the Moon in July 1969.
team maybe.
An award presented by NASA to the people and teams that helped place Apollo 11 on the moon's surface. The text of the award reads In appreciation of dedicated service to the nation as a member of the team which has advanced the nation's capabilities in aeronautics and space and demonstrated them in many outstanding accomplishments culminating in Apollo 11's successful achievement of man's first landing on the moon, July 20, 1969.
Buzz Aldrin gets mad when asked about landing on the moon because he believes the moon landing was a significant achievement that should not be questioned or doubted. Facing repeated questions about the authenticity of the moon landing can be frustrating for him as it undermines the hard work and dedication of the Apollo 11 mission team.
Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins were the crew on Apollo 11 and were the first team to land on the moon. They travelled from Earth by space rocket and Neil Armstrong was the first person to set foot onto the lunar soil.
Apollo 11 was made by a team of engineers and scientists from NASA, with key figures including Wernher von Braun, the chief architect of the Saturn V rocket, and George Mueller, the NASA administrator overseeing the Apollo program. The astronauts who flew on Apollo 11 were Neil Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, and Michael Collins.
