Frank Borman, James Lovell, and William Anders were the first people to orbit the moon in the Apollo 8 spacecraft.
Apollo 8 was the first spacecraft to orbit the moon.
The first spacecraft to orbit the moon was the Soviet Union's Luna 10, which achieved lunar orbit on April 3, 1966. Luna 10 returned valuable data about the moon's magnetic field and radiation environment during its mission.
The first people on the moon were the astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and their pilot captain, Michael Collins. Armstrong became the first man to step on the moon, followed by Aldrin, while Collins stayed in orbit.
The moon orbits our planet. Planets do not orbit moon. A moon is a moon because it orbits planets. The reverse of your question, 'What was the first moon to orbit a planet.', is hard to say. Moons are formed in different ways and because of this can be made of materials that existed long before they became moons.
Apollo 8 was the first mission to orbit the moon. Its crew was Frank Borman, James Lovell, and William Anders.
The phase of the moon when it's halfway around its orbit is a first quarter moon. This occurs when the moon has completed one quarter of its orbit around Earth, with the sun illuminating half of the side facing us.
The first man to put foot on the moon was Neil Armstrong followed shortly by Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin. The rocket that took them into Earth orbit was a Saturn V (five). The spacecraft that took them to the moon and into orbit around it was an Apollo and the spacecraft that took them from moon orbit to the surface of the moon was a Lunar Module.
The first people to go to the moon were astronauts Frank Borman, James Lovell and William Anders, they went to the moon in the Apollo8 spacecraft. It was the first test of the Saturn 5 rocket, the test was to see if it could reach the moon. They circled the moon three times during Christmas 1968.
Apollo 8
The first manned spacecraft to orbit the moon was Apollo 8, which launched on December 21, 1968. It was the second manned mission in the Apollo program and made ten orbits around the moon before returning safely to Earth.
he didn't. He was the first American to orbit the earth. i think like 1961. i know it was early 1960's.
