Apollo 11 entered lunar orbit on July 19, 1969. After a four-day journey from Earth, the spacecraft executed a lunar orbit insertion burn, allowing it to be captured by the Moon's gravity. The mission provided a crucial opportunity to prepare for the historic lunar landing that would occur shortly thereafter.
