Who was in the capsule with Buzz and Neil on Apollo 11?
If you mean who was in the Command Module Columbia, then it was Michael Collins. If you are referring to the Lunar Module Eagle, then no one else was present.
What was on Apollo11?
If you mean who was on Apollo 11, the crew was Commander Neil Armstrong, Command Module Pilot Michael Collins and Lunar Module Pilot Buzz Aldrin, Jr.
What does lunar module mean?
The Apollo spacecraft had two parts, the Command Module and the Lunar Module. The Lunar Module was designed to land on the moon, and to take off to lunar orbit, to a rendez-vous with the Command Module. So it was composed by two parts: the lander, and the ascender. The lander served as a base to the lauching of the ascender.
What are the names 12 people who went to the moon?
The twelve men who walked on the lunar surface were: From Apollo 11: Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin Apollo 12: Alan Bean, Pete Conrad. Apollo 14: Alan Shepard, Edgar Mitchell. Apollo 15: James Irwin, David Scott Apollo 16: John Young, Charlie Duke Apollo 17: Harrison Schmitt, Gene Cernan
What did the Apollo rocket do while the lunar module was directed toward the moon's surface?
If you mean while the Lunar modules were descending to the surface and while they were on the moon, then the Apollo Command and Service Modules kept orbiting the moon. One of the astronauts stayed behind in it. The Command Module could relay messages from the earth to the astronauts on the lunar surface. The ascent stage of the Lunar Module eventually returned and docked at the forward end of the Command Module. *If I haven't understood your question properly, please add more information.
Who orbited the moon during the first Apolllo flight?
All three Apollo astronauts were aboard for several orbits, but Michael Collins remained aboard the command module when the Lunar Module descended to the Moon. Technically Apollo 2 was the first flight of the Apollo Missions, however i was only a test flight with no humans and never left Earths orbit. Apollo 7 was the first manned Apollo mission but they never left Earths orbit either. The first Apollo mission to actually orbit the moon was the crew of Apollo 8 (Lovell, Anders and Borman). If you mean by first Apollo flight that landed on the moon then Apollo 11 is the mission with Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins. Hard to believe I only have 6 trust points!!!
What happened to Apollo 9?
Nothing "happened to it". Apollo 9 was a docking test for the Lunar Module (the part that landed on the moon) and Command Module (the part that stayed in lunar orbit waiting for the Lunar Module), and was a complete success except that one EVA test had to be scrapped due to space sickness. If you mean the various pieces of equipment, both pieces of the Lunar Module (the lander and the ascent stage) were left in orbit after the docking tests until they eventually burned up in the atmosphere (in the case of the ascent stage, about a dozen years later; it remained in orbit until 1981), the Service Module (the part with the rocket engines for returning to Earth from lunar orbit) was jettisoned prior to reentry and it also burned up in the atmosphere, and the Command Module splashed down with the astronauts aboard, was recovered, and is on display at the San Diego Air & Space Museum.
Who was the first man gone on the moon?
It depends on what you mean but "gone to the moon." All manned lunar missions had three astronauts on board. Frank Borman, James Lovell, and William Anders were the first men to visit the moon on Apollo 8. The orbited the moon and returned without landing. Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Buzz Aldrin on Apollo 11 actually landed in the Lunar Module. Armstrong and Aldrin were the first men to step onto the moon -- Collins stayed in the Apollo Command Module orbiting the moon.
Who stayed behind on the first moon landing?
If you mean to ask who stayed in orbit, that was Michael Collins, Command Module Pilot.
What was different about the Apollo Command Module?
If you mean how it was different from the previous Mercury and Gemini missions, then one difference was that it carried three astronauts instead of two in Gemini and one in Mercury. There was also more room to move around (although still cramped) which resulted in some space sickness in certain astronauts for the first time.
How many windows did Apollo 11 have?
If you mean how many windows on both spacecrafts (Columbia and Eagle), then the answer is 4. The command Module, Columbia, had a window in the entry hatch, and a docking window on top, with which the CMP could see the docking target on the Eagle. The Eagle had two traingular shaped windows, through which the Commamnder and the LMP could look.
What does module pilot do?
It depends on which module you mean. The Command Module pilot stays in orbit around the moon during the landing mission. The pilot performs scientific experiments and observations while there. They also play the critical role of docking with the Lunar Module when it leaves the moon. The Lunar Module pilot runs the computers and instruments on the Lunar Module and feeds critical information to the Commander during landing .
