There was onlyone Apollo 11 mission. The astronauts aboard Apollo 11 were Neil Armstrong (commander), Buzz Aldrin (lunar module pilot), and Michael Collins (command module pilot). The titles are a bit misleading. The lunar module pilot basic job was tooperate thecomputer during landing. He entered keystrokes into the computer to ask the elevation and relative speed of the lunar module. It was his job togive the commander the information he needed (speed, elevation, fuel, etc.) to land the vehicle so the commander could keep his eyes on the surface below and avoid boulders and craters. The commander did the actual flying (and landing) of the lunar module. He was also in control of the vehicle during launch from Kennedy Space center and the moon. The command module pilot made the turn around maneuver to pick up the lunar module, which was stored in the 3rd stage of the Saturn V during launch.The CMPalso took navigational readings from the stars after achieving earth orbit and enroute to and from the moon.
