Apollo Moon Missions

Lots of science, potentially solving the mystery of the moon's origin. They proved that humans can live and work in the harsh environment's outside the earth's atmosphere. They proved the US as a technological powerhouse and gave a huge boost to US national pride.

The O2 tank 2 temperature scale stopped working (or so the crew thought), reading off scale high. It turned out the sclae was working fine. The temperature inside the tank had reached nearly 1,000 deg F, but the scale only read up to 100 deg F.

Apollo 13 is the mission which was supposed to land on the moon but had to abort due to an explosion in the SM. They did, however, fly around the moon, so in a sense they made it to the moon, they just didn't achieve lunar orbit or fulfill the original mission requirements.

Astronauts take their own air to the moon because there is no breathable atmosphere on the moon. They rely on spacesuits and life support systems to provide them with the necessary oxygen to breathe while on the lunar surface. Bringing their own air ensures they have a safe and reliable source of oxygen during their missions.

The Apollo 11 mission was developed by NASA, the United States space agency. It was led by Project Apollo, a program initiated by President John F. Kennedy in 1961 with the goal of landing humans on the Moon.

Neil Armstrong returned to Earth on July 24, 1969, after walking on the moon as part of the Apollo 11 mission.

The Apollo manned missions began in 1968 , with Apollo 7, the first three man spacecraft.

Apollo 11 was made by NASA, with the spacecraft consisting of three parts: the command module, service module, and lunar module. Each module was meticulously designed and constructed by engineers and technicians, with rigorous testing conducted to ensure safety and reliability for the historic mission to the Moon. The spacecraft was launched using a Saturn V rocket on July 16, 1969, setting the stage for the successful lunar landing on July 20, 1969.

The Apollo missions landed on the Moon between 1969 and 1972. The six successful missions all landed in different locations on the Moon's surface, with Apollo 11 being the first mission to land humans on the Moon in 1969.

On July 20, 1969, NASA's Apollo 11 mission successfully landed astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin on the moon. Neil Armstrong became the first person to set foot on the moon, famously stating "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." The astronauts collected samples, conducted experiments, and planted the American flag before safely returning to Earth.

The United States Apollo program achieved the first successful manned mission to the moon in 1969, with astronaut Neil Armstrong becoming the first person to walk on the lunar surface followed by Buzz Aldrin. They were part of the Apollo 11 mission.

If it broke down the astronauts would have had to walk back. Since one of the Rovers went over 17 miles, coming and going, this could mean quite a hike, around 8 miles or thereabouts (since the 17 miles was not in a straight line). The Rover had a separate motor for each wheel, so if one or even two conked out they could still have made it back.

The third member of Apollo 11, Michael Collins, remained in the command module orbiting the moon while Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon's surface. Collins played a vital role in the mission by piloting the command module and ensuring a safe return journey for the crew.

In English, the pronoun "it" is commonly used to refer to non-living objects or entities, including spaceships. However, some people may choose to personify a spaceship and refer to it using the pronoun "she," especially in a poetic or creative context.

Total mass: 46,678kg

Commaned module: 5,960kg

Service module: 24,360kg

Lunar module: 16,448kg (descent stage: 11,463kg, ascent stage: 4,985kg)

Yes, the United States Apollo 11 mission successfully landed two astronauts on the moon in 1969. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to set foot on the lunar surface.

When building the Apollo spacecraft, there were numerous limits to avoid.

Firstly, the weight of the spacecraft had to be within a certain limit. If the equipment or spacecraft were too heavy, the Saturn V could not propel the spacecraft fast enough to reach the moon.

Television coverage of the landings were broadcast live, so between 1969 and 1972 depending on the mission.

Astronauts appear to float when they walk on the Moon because the Moon has lower gravity than Earth. Their weight is much lesser, making their movements more buoyant and effortless. This creates the illusion of floating as they take steps and navigate the lunar surface.

Neil Armstrong was the first astronaut to land on the moon on July 20, 1969, as part of the Apollo 11 mission. He famously stated, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind," as he became the first human to walk on the lunar surface.

Yes, Apollo 11 was the first successful mission to land astronauts on the moon on July 20, 1969. Astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin became the first humans to walk on the moon while Michael Collins orbited above in the command module.

The third astronaut in Apollo 11 was Michael Collins. He stayed in lunar orbit in the command module while Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon's surface.

The Apollo 13 mission experienced an oxygen tank explosion, causing it to be aborted. The crew performed critical emergency procedures to conserve power, oxygen, and water as they navigated back to Earth. They safely splashed down in the Pacific Ocean and were successfully recovered.

It proved a soft landing was possible, and that the lunar surface would support the weight of a lander. There was some concern the lunar surface might be of such thick and fluffy dust as to allow a lander to sink into it.
