2 What were the three parts of the Apollo 11 spacecraft?
Service Module, Command Module, Lunar Module.
Is Lunar Spacecraft capitalized?
The proper names of the Apollo Program's spacecraft, and as such should be capitalized, are: Apollo Command Module (abbreviated CM) Apollo Service Module (abbreviated SM) Apollo Lunar Module (abbreviated LM) Note that when the CM and SM are joined, they become a single spacecraft known as the Apollo Command/Service Module, or CSM.
What was the name of the command module from when Neil Armstrong landed on the moon?
The landing module was the Eagle. The command module was the Colombia.
What was the Name of the place that the first space ship reach on the moon?
There were 4 components to the spacecraft that took the Apollo 11 astronauts to the moon. 1. The launch vehicle - Saturn V (SA-506) 2. The Apollo Command Module - Columbia (CM-107) 3. The Service Module - supplied oxygen and electricity to the Command Module (SM-107) 4. The Lunar Module - Eagle (LM-5)
Where was Michael Collins when Armstrong walked on the moon?
While Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin , were busy on the moon , they stayed roughly 24 hours on the moon, Michael Collins waited patiently in the command module for them.He was orbiting the moon.
2 What were the three parts of the Apollo 11 spacecraft?
Service Module, Command Module, Lunar Module.
What are the three modules in the Apollo spacecraft?
The Apollo spacecraft has three modules the Service module, the command module and the lunar module.
How did the astronauts go from the command module to the lunar module?
They got out in space and climbed into the command module. The top of the crafts connected together in space. I wonder how it was possible though, because their suits were so big and it was enough room for the life support units on their back. This answer below is not the correct answer to your question. The command module and lunar module have a docking bay, the Lunar module at the top of the module itself and the command module at the peak of the cone. the command module is the only part of the command/service module and lunar module that actually returned to earth. The lunar modules were jetisoned after the linkup from the lunar excursion and eventually crash landed on the moon. the service module, once separated from the command module burned up on reentry into the earth's atmosphere when the Earth's gravity caused it's orbit decayed enough. Most of the command modules for the Apollo Lunar Missions are housed in the Smithsonian Air and Space museums in Washington, DC and Dulles, VA. although there are a few in other places (Houston, Florida).

What is a csm?
Without the "Space Travel and Exploration" context I'd have said "Customer Service Manager".However, in this particular category, it probably means "Command/Service Module", the portion of the Apollo spacecraft that returned to Earth orbit from the Moon. (The Service Module was the "rocket" part that was discarded and burned up; the Command Module is the cone-shaped part the astronauts were in that actually landed.)
Which spaceship did neil Armstrong use to visit the moon?
The Apollo 11 Saturn V booster, Command and Service Module, and Lunar Excursion Module.
How does a Saturn V rocket work?
Saturn V lifts off, clears the tower, then when in space, it will separate the bottom, again and again, then the command and service module pop out the top. Form there, the Lunar module (aka: lunar lander) will be picked up from the commend module's top. from there, the service module will boost the space crafts to the moon, and will detach. the Lunar module will land softly on the moon with it's boosters. After being on the moon, the space craft will boost its self up. The lunar module pilot will attach them selves to the command module. Next, the astronauts will command the service module to boost them selves so far. Then they will separate; first, the Lunar module, then the service module, then they will reenter. At the last moment, the astronauts will release the parachutes, finally, they will splash down in the south Pacific. From there, a crane will pick them up and onto a concrete dock. The astronauts come out.

The Command Module was called Columbia ( the lunar module was named Eagle.)
Which part of the entire Apollo V moon vehicle was the last to be jettisoned during the mission?
The Service Module, jettisoned after returning to earth, but before the Command Module began reentry.
