Apollo 11

Apollo 11 landed on the Moon on July 20, 1969, not on a person named Maria. The spacecraft carried astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins. They made history with the first manned landing on the Moon.

No, there was no Apollo 1 mission. Apollo 1 was planned to be the first crewed mission in the Apollo program, but a tragic accident during a pre-launch test on January 27, 1967, resulted in the loss of the crew: Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee.

The Command Module Pilot (CMP) was Michael Collins. The Lunar Module Pilot (LMP) was Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin.

39 because he was born August 5, 1930 and it launched July 16, 1969!

After completing its mission on the moon, Apollo 11 utilized its propulsion system to leave lunar orbit and return to Earth. The spacecraft's engines fired to break free from the moon's gravitational pull and begin the journey back home. The spacecraft then carefully calculated its trajectory to re-enter Earth's atmosphere and safely splash down in the ocean.

A number of items were left behind after every mission. They left behind trash, their PLiSS's (personal life support system, aka the backpack), science equipment (the Apollo 11 science package was called the EASEP, Early Apollo Scientific Experiment Package, future missions left behind an ALSEP, Apollo Lunar Surface Experiment Package), American Flags, the Descent Stages (the legs) of the Landing Modules, and some personal items which many astronauts have kept to themselves. Apollo's 15, 16, and 17 also left behind the Lunar Rovers.

Harrison "Jack" Schmitt was the first (and only) scientist, a geologist, to walk on the moon. He was part of the Apollo 17 crew, landing in December of 1972.

Galileo Galilei is often credited with the discovery of moons when he observed four of Jupiter's largest moons through a telescope in 1610. These moons are now known as the Galilean moons: Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto.

Neil Armstrong had the camera and too the pictures, which is why there are no still images of Neil on the lunar surface. All still images of Apollo 11 astronauts on the moon are of Buzz Aldrin.

After the first man landed on the moon in 1969, several more Apollo missions followed, with a total of 12 astronauts walking on the moon. However, interest and funding for further manned missions to the moon diminished, and efforts shifted towards building a space station and exploring other parts of space.

The Apollo rockets that were launched for the moon missions are either in museums or on display in various locations across the United States. For example, the Saturn V rocket used for the Apollo 11 mission is displayed at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Other Apollo rockets may have been used for other purposes, scrapped, or lost in space.

Australia played a crucial role in the Apollo 11 mission by providing tracking stations that supported communication between mission control in the US and the spacecraft. The Parkes Observatory in New South Wales and the Honeysuckle Creek Tracking Station in the Australian Capital Territory were instrumental in receiving and transmitting signals during various phases of the mission, including the historic moon landing.

The first man-made object to land on the Moon was the Soviet spacecraft Luna 2, on September 13, 1959. It successfully impacted the Moon's surface, marking a significant milestone in space exploration.

Yes Apollo 11 did orbit the moon before it landed on the moon.

Yes, during the Apollo 11 mission, the circuit breaker for the engine arm circuit on the Lunar Module broke. This issue was quickly addressed by improvising a solution using a felt-tip pen to operate the switch.

Yes, there were indeed four people on Apollo 11. The crew consisted of Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, Michael Collins, and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin. Collins remained in the command module while Armstrong and Aldrin descended to the lunar surface.

The pictures of Apollo 11 in space were taken by the astronauts onboard the spacecraft, specifically Neil Armstrong using a Hasselblad camera. Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin took photographs during the mission, including the iconic images of the lunar module Eagle landing on the moon.

The first moon landing was taped by NASA using cameras onboard the Apollo 11 spacecraft and also by cameras set up on the lunar surface. The footage captured by these cameras was transmitted back to Earth and recorded by various tracking stations.

Primarily the moon's age and geological makeup. They verified that the moon was indeed created from a massive impact between the newly-formed earth and a mars sized proto-planet which spread millions of tons of debris into orbit around the earth. That debris eventually bound together to form our moon.

Neil armstrong landed on the moon on 20/7/1969 , at 9.16 P.M.

The Apollo 11 astronauts were roughly 30 years old in 1969.

michael collins was the pilot so he did not walk on the moon

The only crewmember on Apollo 11 who did not walk on the moon was Michael Collins. He remained in orbit around the moon in the Command Module while Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin descended to the lunar surface in the Lunar Module.

The name of the ship that picked up the Apollo 16 crew after splashdown was the USS Ticonderoga.

Apollo 11 was launched to land astronauts on the Moon and return them safely to Earth, achieving the goal set by President John F. Kennedy to put a man on the Moon before the end of the 1960s. It was a significant milestone in space exploration and the space race between the United States and the Soviet Union.
