What was the craft neil Armstrong traveled in to the moon?
There was two parts, the command module and the lunar module. The command module was used to take them to Lunar orbit, and then the Lunar module was used to land them on the Moon. The Lunar module then lifted the astronauts off the Moon and into Lunar orbit. They then docked with the command module and then got rid of the lunar module. Then the final trip home, they were safely inside the command module.
How did Apollo 11 get off the moon orbit?
With small engines on the lunar module.
Who was with Neil Armstrong when he was on the moon?
Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin also walked on the moon. Michael Collins remained in lunar orbit in the Command Module 'Columbia'. Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin was with Neil Armstrong when he stepped on the moon from the Lunar Module. Micheal Collins waited in orbit in the Command Module.
What is the purpose of the space rocket Saturn V?
The purpose of this spacecraft was to carry a lunar module to the moon and engage it in lunar orbit.
What do you know about Apollo mission?
Apollo7 was sent in space ,after the first one caught fire, Apollo 8 went to the moon and returned. Apollo 9 tested the lunar module in earth orbit, Apollo 10 tested the lunar module in lunar orbit. Apollo 11 landed on the moon, the rest landed on the moon as well.

What part of the Saturn system reached the Moon's surface?
The lunar excursion module. Which was located inside the upper part of the third stage of the Saturn system, adjacent to the command module. After leaving earth orbit, on the way to the moon, the command module turned around, docked with the lunar module, and extracted it from the third stage. The combined unit turned again and faced the moon. The third stage drifted into space. The excursion module then separated from the command module for its trip to the moon's surface. The command module remained in lunar orbit waiting to receive the astronauts from the returning module.
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.
