Their first task after landing was to configure the Lunar Module (LM) to launch mode in case the LM began to tilt or sink in the soil. After that, the astronauts looked out their windows and attempted to describe the surrounding terraine. This was done to give scientists back on earth an idea of where the astronauts had landed. It was important that the people in Houston know the exact location so their traverses can be planned more exactly.
Yes, astronauts can visit the moon at any phase of the lunar cycle. The visibility of the moon's surface features may vary depending on the phase, but this does not prevent astronauts from landing or exploring the moon.
No, the Russians did not reach the moon. The United States was the first and only country to have successfully landed astronauts on the moon as part of the Apollo program in 1969. The Soviet Union did achieve significant milestones in space exploration, but they did not land astronauts on the moon.
No. The Apollo astronauts left instruments to measure the temperature deep below the surface of the moon. All readings indicate a cold moon. The Apollo 17 astronauts found volcanic material, indicating that the moon was hot when it formed, but quickly cooled.
July 1969
Astronauts have not landed on Uranus and Neptune, as they have only visited the Moon, Mars, and the satellites of Jupiter and Saturn. Exploration of these distant gas giants would require advanced technology and significant challenges to overcome.
Many astronauts have not reached the moon.
1972
None. Their had only reach the moon.
YES
It took the astronauts of the Apollo 11 mission approximately three days to reach the moon in 1969. They launched from Earth on July 16, 1969, and landed on the moon on July 20, 1969.
It took about 3 days for the various lunar missions to reach the moon.
The Moon! The astronauts explored part of what is called "Hadley Rille".
No astronauts have died on the moon. All astronauts who have traveled to the moon returned safely to Earth.
Michael Adams reached space and died on the moon that's why all the all the international rules said that he didnt so he did but he died on the moon and the other astronauts had to take him home. one of the astronauts was Roger chaffe and the other one is unknown.
The moon was closer. less money spent to reach moon, mars had a harsh invironment (Ect.)
Astronauts traveling to the moon typically reach speeds of around 24,000 miles per hour (38,600 km/h) during the journey. This speed is necessary to escape Earth's gravity and travel the approximately 238,855 miles (384,400 km) to reach the moon.
No astronauts littered the moon.
