Spider was the name of the Apollo 9 lunar module.
However, the first LM was not on Apollo 9, it was on Apollo 5 (AS-205) an unmanned test.
The Apollo Lunar Module was developed in the 1960s as part of the Apollo program by NASA, with the first successful manned landing on the moon occurring on July 20, 1969. The Lunar Module played a crucial role in transporting astronauts from lunar orbit to the moon's surface and back to the command module in orbit.
Apollo 7 was the first crewed mission of the Apollo program and launched from Earth. It was the first time astronauts tested the lunar module, the Command and Service Module, and the rendezvous procedures in space.
The first lunar module to orbit the Earth was Apollo 9, launched by NASA in March 1969 as part of the Apollo program. It successfully completed its Earth orbit mission testing key systems in preparation for the upcoming moon landing missions.
The lunar module of Apollo 11 was called 'The Eagle'. The mission was in 1969
Apollo 9 was an Earth-orbital test of the lunar module, crucial for the upcoming Moon landings. The mission included testing the docking and undocking procedures with the command module in space, as well as testing the performance of both the lunar module and the command module systems.
There have been six manned missions to successfully land on the moon: 1. Year - 1969 / Space Craft - Eagle Lunar Module / Mission - Apollo 11 / Crew: Neil Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin 2. Year - 1969 / Space Craft - Intrepid Lunar Module / Mission - Apollo 12 / Crew: Charles "Pete" Conrad Jr., Alan L. Bean 3. Year - 1971 / Space Craft - Antares Lunar Module / Mission - Apollo 14 / Crew: Alan Shepard Jr., Edgar Mitchell 4. Year - 1971 / Space Craft - Falcon Lunar Module / Mission - Apollo 15 / Crew: Dave Scott, Jim Irwin 5. Year - 1972 / Space Craft - Orion Lunar Module / Mission - Apollo 16 / Crew: John Young, Charles Duke 6. Year - 1972 / Space Craft - Challenger Lunar Module / Mission - Apollo 17 / Crew: Eugene Cernan, Harrison Schmitt
The Apollo 11 mission, not a space shuttle, was involved in the first lunar landing. The lunar module named "Eagle" carried astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin to the Moon's surface on July 20, 1969.
Apollo 9 only orbited Earth. It did not go to the moon. It was used to do some tests including a space walk to test the space suits, and trying to connect the command module and lunar module together in space.
Apollo 11 was built at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida by NASA and its contractors. The spacecraft consisted of the Columbia command module, the Eagle lunar module, and the Saturn V rocket that launched them into space.
Apollo 7 tested the Command Module in earth orbit. Apollo 8 tested the Command Module in lunar orbit. Apollo 9 tested the Lunar Module in earth orbit. Apollo 10 tested the Lunar Module in lunar orbit. Apollo 11 landed at Tranquility Base. Apollo 12 landed about 600 feet from Surveyor 3. Apollo 13 blew an oxygen tank and slingshotted around the moon before returning the crew safely to the earth. Apollo 14 landed at Fra Mauro (this was Apollo 13's landing site). Apollo 15 carried the first Rover to Hadley Delta region of the moon. Apollo 16 made the first landing in the highlands. Apollo 17 carried the first and only geologist to the moon. Skylab 2 spent a record 28 days in space. Skylab 3 spent a record 56 days in space. Skylab 4 spent a record 84 days in space. The Apollo Soyuz Test Project linked an Apollo with a Soviet Soyuz spacecraft in the first international mission.
Yes, the Apollo 11 spacecraft that carried humans to the moon in 1969 landed on the moon's surface, specifically in the Sea of Tranquility. The Lunar Module, named Eagle, separated from the Command Module in lunar orbit before astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin descended to the lunar surface.
The spacecraft that brought the first man to walk on the moon was the Apollo 11 spacecraft. The specific module that landed on the moon was called the Lunar Module, and the astronauts were Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin.
