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.


What was the purpose of the Apollo lunar module?

The Apollo Lunar Module was designed to transport astronauts from lunar orbit to the moon's surface and back. It served as the "landing craft" for the Apollo missions, providing a safe way for astronauts to land on the moon, explore its surface, and then return to the Command Module in lunar orbit.


When was the Apollo lunar invented?

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.


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.


How did Apollo 11 get off the moon orbit?

With small engines on the lunar module.

Is the Apollo 11 lunar module still in orbit around the moon?

Ah, that's a wonderful question. The Apollo 11 lunar module has completed its mission and is no longer in orbit around the moon. Imagine all the beauty it saw during its time up there, inspiring others to dream big and explore the wonders of the universe. Keep looking up! Enough facts already!


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. The lander served as a base to the lauching of the ascender.


What part of the Apollo spacecraft landed on the moon?

The Lunar Module, also known as the LM or "Eagle" on the Apollo 11 mission, was the part of the spacecraft that landed on the Moon. It was designed to carry astronauts from lunar orbit to the lunar surface and back.


What was the purpose of the LEM?

The Lunar Module (LEM), also known as the Lunar Excursion Module (LEM), was designed for NASA's Apollo program to facilitate the landing of astronauts on the Moon and their subsequent return to the command module in lunar orbit. Its purpose was to provide a means of descent from lunar orbit to the Moon's surface and then to lift off from the Moon back to the command module. The LEM was crucial for conducting scientific exploration and gathering samples during the Apollo lunar missions.


When did Apollo 11 leave from the moon?

The lunar module left the moon on 21/7/1969.


Did Neil go alone to the moon?

No, he went from the earth to lunar orbit with Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins. Only Aldrin descended in the Lunar Module Eagle with him to the moon's surface while Collins stayed behind in the Command Module orbiting the moon.
