What happened to Apollo 10?

The astronauts for Apollo 10 were Thomas Stafford, John young and eugene Cernan, the Apollo 10 was to go to the moon and then two would be in the lunar module and one astronaut would be in the command module. They separated and docked in the orbit of the moon. This was the final test before Apollo 11.

Who controlled the flight of Apollo 11?

The flight of Apollo 11 was controlled by the astronauts on board the spacecraft, with guidance from Mission Control at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. The astronauts, Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins, were responsible for maneuvering the spacecraft during its journey to the moon and back.

How did Apollo 11 navigate?

It didn't navigate it never left the earth :-) lol

No seriously did you mean how did the astronauts navigate the Apollo 11 ?

I'm pretty sure it had an internal guidance system, similar in power to today's calculators, or so Ive heard

Also they used a lunar star chart to determine their exact position on the moon

Why did Apollo 11 almost crash on the moon?

During the Apollo 11 mission, the lunar module overshot the designated landing site due to a guidance software error. This error caused them to be heading towards a field of boulders, so Neil Armstrong took manual control and safely landed on a smoother area with only 30 seconds of fuel left.

Who was really the first man on the moon?

Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon.

How long did the Apollo 11 take to reach the moon?

The Apollo 11 mission took approximately 3 days to reach the moon from Earth. The spacecraft was launched on July 16, 1969, and reached the moon's orbit on July 19, before the Lunar Module descended to the surface on July 20.

What do astronauts do all day in space?

Astronauts in space spend their days conducting experiments, maintaining the spacecraft, exercising to combat muscle and bone loss, communicating with mission control, and documenting their experiences through photography and videography. They also have scheduled periods for relaxation and personal time.

What equipment and spacecraft were used for Apollo 11?

The Apollo 11 mission used the Saturn V rocket to launch the spacecraft into orbit. The spacecraft consisted of the Command Module "Columbia," the Service Module, and the Lunar Module "Eagle." Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin used the Lunar Module to land on the moon while Michael Collins remained in orbit around the moon in the Command Module.

What did the Apollo 11 look like?

Apollo 11 was the spacecraft that carried astronauts Armstrong, Aldrin, and Collins to the moon in 1969. It consisted of the Command Module, Service Module, and Lunar Module. The Command Module was cone-shaped and housed the astronauts during their journey.

RV film where nasa faked the moon landing?

No please believe that the launch and the famous landing on the moon was never ever faked by either the U.S.A or by N.A.S.A , in any at at all. For proof, there were thousands of people who were sitting and sleeping in their cars . In the morning of 16/7/1969 , to get the best view of the astronauts getting in the Apollo spacecraft , and seeing the launch. Navy crew of the Hornet saw them splash down. Only 6% do not believe in it.

What was the name of the first Apollo mission to the moon?

Apollo 8 was the first one to send astronauts to orbit the moon, but they did not land on it.

Apollo 11 was the first manned lunar landing.

What year did the first asrtonauts landed on the moon?

The first astronauts landed on the moon in 1969 as part of NASA's Apollo 11 mission. Commander Neil Armstrong and lunar module pilot Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to walk on the moon on July 20, 1969.

What powered the Apollo 11 spacecraft?

The spacecraft's electrical power came from storage batteries (also called fuel cells), carried onboard. They generated a maximum of about 2300 watts. The fuel to launch the spacecraft was liquid oxygen (with kerosene, and liquid hydrogen for the upper stages), with nitrogen tetroxide to steer, adjust and make course corrections.

What was the time of the Apollo 11 landing?

The Apollo 11 lunar module, Eagle, touched down on the Moon on July 20, 1969, at 20:17 UTC.

Was there problems with the first moon landing?

The first moon landing, Apollo 11, encountered some minor issues, such as a computer overload error and a limited fuel supply during the descent to the lunar surface. However, the astronauts were able to successfully land and return to Earth without major problems.

What was the fate of Apollo 1?

Apollo 1 was a manned spacecraft that caught fire during a pre-launch test on January 27, 1967, killing all three astronauts aboard: Virgil "Gus" Grissom, Edward H. White II, and Roger B. Chaffee. The incident led to extensive redesigns of the Apollo spacecraft before future missions.

Why were the Apollo 11 astronauts selected to go on this particular mission?

The Apollo 11 astronauts were selected based on their experience, training, and performance in previous missions. Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins were skilled test pilots and had experience in spaceflight. Additionally, their abilities to work under pressure and willingness to take on the challenges of the mission played a role in their selection.

What was the purpose of the mission of landing on the moon first?

The United States wanted to beat the Soviet Union to the Moon, to symbolically show that Capitalism would beat Communism in the long run. The Soviets started out ahead in the Space Race, and stayed ahead, with the first satellite in orbit, the first animal in orbit, the first probe to pass by the Moon, the first probe to impact the Moon, the first spacecraft to return pictures of the Moon's far side, and the first man (Yuri Gagarin) and woman (Valentina Tereshkova) in space. They continued with the first "soft" landing of a lunar probe, and the first man-made object to orbit the Moon. Their long-range goal to land the first human on the moon was frustrated though, and the United States gradually matched their earlier achievements, and pulled ahead with the Apollo program. Another major difference between Soviet cosmonauts and American astronauts was that the astronauts were real pilots, who could steer and maneuver their spacecraft, while cosmonauts were mostly average workers, trained just enough to operate some of the onboard instruments, and were largely "just along for the ride" on missions. While the Soviet Union would have likely claimed the Moon for themselves, the Apollo astronauts made it clear "We came in peace for all mankind", and left a small plaque with those words, bolted to the bottom of the first lunar lander.

What was the last Apollo missions to go to the moon?

The last mission was the Apollo 17 also the eleventh Apollo mission and sixth and last lunar landing.

Apollo 13 which actor in the role of Jim lovell?

The actor Tom Hanks played the role of James Lovell in the movie Apollo 13.

Who circled the moon in Apollo 11?

The astronaut who circled the moon in Apollo 11 while his colleagues landed on its surface was Michael Collins. He remained in the command module in lunar orbit as Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin descended in the lunar module to make the historic first manned landing on the moon.

Did Apollo 11 re-ener earth's atmosphere at 30 degrees?

No, Apollo 11 did not re-enter Earth's atmosphere at a 30-degree angle. The spacecraft re-entered at a steeper angle to ensure a safe re-entry and landing.
