Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the Moon on July 20, 1969 and the name of their lunar module was Eagle. "Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed". is what the first words from the lunar surface back to Earth were.
Speaking to Mission Control from the surface of the moon, he said, "Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed."
These were some of the first words uttered by Neil Armstrong after the Apollo 11 mission landed on the moon in 1969. The full quotation is "Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed." The first words uttered on the moon were actually Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin saying "Contact light!," followed by a brief exchange of technical jargon related to shutting down the engines of the lunar module.
"Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed." As spoken by Neil Armstrong from The Sea of Tranquility in 1969.The Lunar module was called Eagle.You just said it was called The Apollo 11 lunar module.
To save weight. Leaving the lower part (the descent stage) behind on the moon (the lower part was used, among other things, as a stable base for the lunar lander to land on) allowed the lunar module to carry less fuel. It could carry a minimum of fuel because it didn't have to lift the lower part of the module off the moon in addition to the pressure vessel that the crew inhabited. Since the ascent stage of the lunar module was lighter from requiring less fuel, the scientists and engineers could include more important gear for the mission (for example: lunar experiments, a higher payload of rocks and regolith for the return trip, essential systems in the crew modules, etc...). The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter photographed the ascent stage of the Apollo 11, 14, 15, 16, and 17 missions in July 2009 with plans to photograph the Apollo 12 site.
Neil Armstrong
The lunar module landed near the southwestern rim of the Sea of Tranquility on the moon during the Apollo 11 mission in 1969. The specific location was named Tranquility Base.
Ah, what a lovely question! The name of the lunar module that landed on the Tranquility Base during the Apollo 11 mission was called "Eagle." It soared through the vast expanse of space and touched down gently on the surface of the moon, creating a beautiful moment in history for all to witness.

The Apollo 11 lunar module eagle was about to hit a crater, so Neil Armstrong took over the conrols and landed it safely.
The Apollo 11 lunar module, carrying astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, landed in the southern part of the Sea of Tranquility on the moon on July 20, 1969. The exact landing site was known as Tranquility Base.
The "Lunar Excursion Module" of the Apollo 11 space mission was named "Eagle". The first words transmitted from the surface of the Moon were "Tranquility Base here; the Eagle has landed."
It was "Eagle". ie: "Tranquility Base, The Eagle has landed."
The LM (Lunar Module) landed on the moon's surface in the southwestern region of the Mare Tranquillitatis, also known as the Sea of Tranquility. The specific landing site was chosen for its relatively flat and smooth terrain to ensure a safe touchdown for the Apollo 11 mission.
When the lunar lander landed he told Houston, "Tranquility Base here, the Eagle has landed." When he stepped onto the lunar surface he said, "One small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind."
The Lunar Module (LM) that first landed on the moon was named Eagle. It was part of the Apollo 11 mission, which successfully landed astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the lunar surface on July 20, 1969.
