How did the lunar module get back to the command module if the only had about 15 seconds of fuel when they landed?
The lunar module (LM) used a small amount of fuel to lift off from the Moon's surface and return to the command module (CM) in lunar orbit. After completing the lunar surface mission, the LM's ascent stage ignited its engine, which was designed for a brief burn to achieve the necessary velocity to rendezvous with the CM. The LM's ascent stage had carefully calculated fuel reserves, and the astronauts executed precise maneuvers to ensure they could complete the ascent and docking with the CM. Ultimately, the LM successfully returned to the CM despite having a limited amount of fuel.

What was the name of the craft that took the astronuts to the moon?
The craft that took astronauts to the moon was called the Apollo spacecraft. It consisted of the command module, service module, and lunar module. The lunar module was the portion that landed on the moon while the command module remained in lunar orbit.
What was the name of the command module that first landed on the moon?
Command modules did not land on the moon. The Lunar Exploration Modules (LEM) did.
How did astronauts land on the moon?
Astronauts landed on the moon using the Apollo Lunar Module, a spacecraft specifically designed for landing on the lunar surface. The Lunar Module separated from the Command Module in lunar orbit, descended to the surface guided by its engines, and landed using landing legs. The Apollo missions used a combination of automated systems and manual piloting by the astronauts to achieve successful landings on the moon.
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.
Did the whole rocket go to the moon?
No, not the entire rocket went to the Moon. During the Apollo missions, only the lunar module, which was part of the spacecraft, landed on the Moon while the command module remained in lunar orbit. The command module housed the astronauts during the lunar landing and took them back to Earth after their mission on the Moon.

What is the difference between the command service module and the lunar module?
The command service module , orbited the moon, in Apollo 11 it was Michael Collins, who did experiments, while the lunar module landed on the moon. With the two astronauts.

Which spaceship was used by the astronauts to land on the moon?
Apollo was the name of all the lunar missions. The various craft that went were numbered. 6 missions went to the moon and landed on it, which were Apollo 11, 12, 14, 15, 16 and 17. Each lunar mission spacecraft consisted of two parts, a command module and a lunar module. The command module got people to the moon and orbited around it and got them back to Earth. The lunar module was the part that actually landed on the moon. The 6 lunar modules that landed on the moon were: Eagle Intrepid Antares Falcon Orion Challenger
At was the first American spacecraft to land astronauts on the moon?
Apollo 11 consisted of the command module that was known as Columbia and the lunar module that landed on the Moon was called Eagle.
What was the name of the lunar module that landed on the moon?
The lunar module that landed on the moon was called Eagle during the Apollo 11 mission in 1969.
What the name of Russia's lunar module that landed on the moon after the eagle?
NO russian module ever landed on the moon.
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).
First rocket to take man on moon?
They were launched from earth atop a Saturn V. They flew to the moon aboard their Apollo Command Module and landed on the moon in their Lunar Module.
