Whilst on the surface of the moon, Armstrong and Aldrin performed the following tasks:

  • collected rock and soil samples
  • tested human mobility on the Moon's surface, and reported on how the reduced gravity affected movement
  • deployed the EASEP (Early Apollo Scientific Experiment Package) which would leave behind a passive seismograph to detect moon-quakes, and a laser ranging retroreflector for the purpose of bouncing laser beams back to Earth, to enable astronomers to measure distances more accurately than had previously been possible.
  • took photographs and televised their activities
  • trapped solar particles for further experimentation
  • set up a seismometer to record moon movements
  • the American flag was also planted, along with a plaque commemorating this historic event
