Apollo Moon Missions

Buz Aldrin NOT Neil Armstrong! Neil Armstrong landed on the moon 10 minutes after Buz Aldrin did.They also went with Mike Collins who flew round the moon several times never actually stopping the rocket in space at all! So Neil Armstrong should not take all the credit because actually Buzz Aldrin landed first but if you want our science teacher o be happy say Neil Armstrong. :)

No.

The 'rocket' parts of spacecraft are the propulsion stages which are used to get the craft out of the earth's gravity and onto the trajectory which will bring it to its destination, or put it into its orbit.

The rocket for most spacecraft is a three-stage device - and each stage is jettisoned after it has completed its task. These stages fall back to earth or are burned up in the atmosphere.

When the American astronauts landed on the moon they were travelling in a Lunar Module / Lunar Landing Module /Lunar Excursion Module. This was only a tiny part of the Apollo rockets which were launched from Cape Canaveral.

In the Apollo 11 mission the astronauts had a moonwalk lasting 2 hours and 31 minutes.

The booster was the Saturn V (five), the command module was Columbia, the lunar landing module was Eagle.

The first manned landing was July 20, 1969.

The names of the three astronauts who were the first to land on the moon were Neil Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, and Michael Collins. Neil Armstrong was the first person to set foot on the lunar surface, followed by Buzz Aldrin. Michael Collins orbited the moon in the command module.

The astronauts of the Apollo-Soyuz mission did not land on the moon.

There have been 6 manned moon landings, the most famous and first was on 20 July 1969. The full list is... * Apollo 11 - 20 July 1969 (Neil Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin) * Apollo 12 - 19 November 1969 (Charles "Pete" Conrad, Alan Bean) * Apollo 14 - 5 February 1971(Alan B. Shepard, Edgar Mitchell) * Apollo 15 - 30 July 1971 (David Scott, James Irwin) * Apollo 16 - 21 April 1972 (John Young, Charles Duke) * Apollo 17 - 11 December 1972 (Eugene Cernan, Harrison H. "Jack" Schmitt)

There have been 19 Apollo missions (1A & 1 - 17). All bar one have either been successful or partially successful.

The one mission that was a failure was Apollo 1 where the command module destroyed and three astronauts killed on 27 January 1967 by fire in the module during a test exercise.

The most famous almost failure was Apollo 13 which is classed as a successful failure as no one died - problematic oscillations on start, unrelated explosion in service module during Earth-Moon transition caused mission to be aborted - crew took temporary refuge in lunar module and eventually returned to Earth with command module after single pass around Moon and made it through reentry.

Outside of the imagination of the lunatic fringe, there was no Apollo 18 flight. Apollo 18 was cancelled by Nixon, as he wanted Apollo, which had been started by Kennedy, to generate no more successes that would be credited to the Democrats. He even went so far as to rename Cape Kennedy, "Cape Canaveral". The Apollo 18 capsule, which had already been built, was wasted on a publicity stunt called "Apollo-Soyuz", which was supposedly a test of an emergency linkage that would allow Russian and American spacecraft to rescue one another.

The first moon landing took place on July 20, 1969 at 20:17 UTC (Coordinated Universal Time).

Several factors contribute to the absence of moon landings since 1972, including shifting priorities, budget constraints, and technological advancements. Space agencies have focused on other missions and projects, such as robotic exploration and building the International Space Station. There are plans to return humans to the moon in the near future, with programs like NASA's Artemis aiming to land astronauts on the lunar surface.

The moonwalk dance move was popularized by Michael Jackson, who first performed it during a live performance of his song "Billie Jean" in 1983. However, the origin of the moonwalk itself is unclear, with some crediting street dancers in urban areas in the 1970s for creating the move.

In an area of the moon called the 'Mare Tranquilatis' (the 'Sea of Tranquility') - an area of the moon that comprised of a flat plain of solidified, cooled lava. This area was chosed specifically by NASA because it was flat and presented as few problems as possible as a landing site, rather than land in a bulder-strewn area that could result in the landing module tipping over.

Yes, men landed on the moon on July 20, 1969, during NASA's Apollo 11 mission. Astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to set foot on the lunar surface, while Michael Collins orbited the moon in the command module.

The Apollo spacecraft consisted of multiple components. The command module (CM) was where the crew lived and operated during the mission. The service module (SM) provided propulsion, power, and life support. The lunar module (LM) was used to land on the moon and return to the command module.

Yes, the United States was the first country to put a man on the moon. This historic event took place on July 20, 1969, during the Apollo 11 mission, with astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walking on the lunar surface.

The vehicle used by the first astronauts to travel on the Moon's surface was called the Lunar Rover, specifically during the later Apollo missions (Apollo 15, 16, and 17). It was a battery-powered, four-wheeled rover that allowed astronauts to explore larger areas of the lunar surface during their missions.

As of now, no Japanese human has gone to the moon. The only humans who have stepped on the moon were part of the United States' Apollo space program.

Harrison Schmitt was the first and only geologist to land on the moon. Schmitt was the Apollo 17 Lunar Module Pilot. Apollo 17 was the last manned lunar landing. As LMP, it was Schmitt's job to tell the commander, Gene Cernan, speed and elevation during the lunar landing.

On the surface, Schmitt helped set up the experiments. After that, they boarded the Lunar Rover and drove to explore pre-designated spots. It was Schmitt's job to use the maps to guide Cernan to the geologic sites. On the way, Schmitt also described the sites he saw for the benefit of scientists at Missino Control.

While on the Moon's surface, Schmitt collected the rock sample designated Troctolite 76535, which has been called "without doubt the most interesting sample returned from the Moon". Among other distinctions, it is the central piece of evidence suggesting that the Moon once possessed an active magnetic field. Schmitt also found the orange soil near Shorty Crater. Orange soil is significant because it is proof of volcanoes on the moon. The moon has a very thick 60km crust. It has been volcanically inactive for the last 3 billion years.

9:32 a.m.

JULY 16, 1969!!

NOT JULY 20, 1969!!

The astronauts went to the moon as part of the Apollo program to explore the lunar surface, conduct scientific experiments, and demonstrate American technological capabilities in the space race against the Soviet Union.

All moon landings happened during Nixon days. Richard Nixon: president of USA from January 20, 1969 to August 9, 1974

First moon landing: July, 1969

Last moon landing: December, 1972

Astronaut Charles Pete Conrad went to the moon on Apollo 12 , in November 1969.

The Eagle was the lunar module that carried astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin to the surface of the moon during the Apollo 11 mission in 1969. It was part of NASA's Apollo program that aimed to land humans on the moon and bring them back safely to Earth.
