12 astronauts from 6 successful moon landing missions have walked on the moon's surface.
During the Apollo moon missions, astronauts lived and worked in the Apollo Command Module while traveling to and from the moon. Once in lunar orbit, they transferred to the Lunar Module to descend to the lunar surface. While on the moon, astronauts explored the surface on foot and conducted experiments before returning to the Command Module for the journey back to Earth.
