Apollo Moon Missions

No Russian has ever landed on the moon. The first manned moon landing was achieved by the United States during the Apollo 11 mission in 1969.

The Apollo 18 spacecraft docked with the Russian Soyuz 19 spacecraft in orbit during the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project in 1975. This was the first international human spaceflight mission conducted by NASA and the Soviet space agency.

The instruments on Apollo 13 included gyroscopes, accelerometers, guidance computers, navigation sensors, communication systems, and life support systems. These instruments were crucial for the astronauts to navigate in space, communicate with mission control, and maintain life support functions throughout the mission.

Scientists learned that the Moon is 4.5 billion years old, similar in composition to Earth's crust, and that it was likely formed from a giant impact with Earth. They also discovered that the Moon has a much drier and less geologically active surface than previously thought.

All of the astronauts who were aboard Apollo 13 survived their crisis in space.

Jim Lovell announced that Apollo 13 was to be his final flight even before the mission got off the ground, so he never flew in space again.

Fred Haise also never flew in space again; however, he did pilot the experimental space shuttle Enterprise on five separate occasions. This shuttle was designed solely to test its aerodynamic and structural performance during approach and landing, which was executed by dropping the shuttle from a modified Boeing 747 from around 50,000 feet.

Jack Swigert left NASA after Apollo 13 and ran for Congress in the state of Colorado; however, he died of cancer shortly after he was elected and was never sworn into office.

One of the original astronuats of Apollo 13, Ken Mattingly, was able to fly as command module pilot on Apollo 16 and participated in two space shuttle missions. He was cut from 13 when it was discovered he could have potentially contracted the measles from fellow astronaut Charlie Duke. He ultimatly did not contract the illness.

Lovell and Haise continue to contribute to documentary films that cover their era in spaceflight. Lovell is arguably one of the most famous astronauts of the Apollo era besides Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong. He also is recognized as possessing the most experience of any of the Gemini-Apollo astronauts, as he flew on Gemini 7, Apollo 8, and Apollo 13.

The astronauts only hands-on source of practicing manuvering for lunar landings was by using the LLTV, or the Lunar Landing Training Vehicle. This platform consisted of a vertically-mounted jet engine with four sets of a "pod" of four rocket boosters positioned on the vehicle's sides in order to mimic the rockets' similar orientation on the LEM. It was designed to serve as a 1G simulator for powered-descent, e.g. the act of landing on the moon using the decent stage of the LEM. The LLTV was, however, highly unstable, resulting in several astronauts ejecting from the craft before it crashed. One of the pilots of the LLTV was Neil Armstrong, who ironically gained his privileged position on Apollo 11, at least in part, by showing his quick reflexes when he ejected from the LLTV during a practice session.

The other method of training for powered-descent was by practicing with the navigation computer. The computer would act as an autopilot, guiding the astronauts down to around 100 feet from the lunar surface. At that point, the navigation computer would relinquish control of the LEM retro rockets and the astronauts would manually guide the spacecraft to a suitable landing site. The training that took place was mainly to practice management of the navigation computer and to combat any errors that might spring up as a result of its guidance.

Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin were the first two men to walk on the moon during the Apollo 11 mission in 1969. Neil Armstrong was the first to step on the lunar surface, followed by Buzz Aldrin.

Yes Gus Grissom did have kids. Scotty was the oldest. Mark was the youngest. His wife was Betty.

well for maned there was 1,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16, and 17. for unmaned there was 4,5, and 6

Neil Armstrong the 1st man who came out of the spacecraft

Buzz Aldrin 2nd to come out of the spacecraft

Neil Collins didn't come out of the spacecraft he made sure everything was ok while they were out of the craft

There were six manned missions to the moon conducted by NASA between 1969 and 1972. Each mission included multiple flights to the moon, with astronauts landing and conducting experiments on the lunar surface.

The first people who went on the moon took 3 days to get there. Apollo 8 launched on December 21, 1968. They reached the moon on Christmas Eve December 24th. Unmanned rockets have reached the moon in as little as 9 hours. The reason it took 3 days for the astronauts to get there was for fuel economy. If they got there any faster, they would see so much fuel to slow themselves down that it would be unfeasable to send them there.

Pete Conrad walked on the moon as part of the Apollo 12 mission on November 19, 1969. This was the third manned mission to land on the moon.

The Apollo 11 mission was the first mission to land humans on the moon. Astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to walk on the lunar surface while Michael Collins orbited above in the command module. Armstrong's famous words "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" marked a historic moment in space exploration.

In December 1968 Apollo 8 became the first manned spacecraft to go to the moon, orbit it and return to Earth. The astronauts did not land on the moon.

No, only Apollo 11, out of all the Apollo missions, successfully landed astronauts on the moon. Apollo 2 was an unmanned mission which was intended to test the Saturn rocket.

No. Three astronauts, Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee, were killed while on the launch pad during a dress rehearsal for the launch. An electrical fault caused a fire in the cockpit of the Command Module which ruptured from the intensity of the heat.

The total cost of the Apollo 12 mission, which occurred in 1969, was approximately $375 million USD. This price tag included the cost of developing the spacecraft, launch vehicle, mission operations, and various other associated expenses.

The first astronaut to set foot on the moon was Neil Armstrong. He was part of the Apollo 11 mission in 1969, when he took his famous first step on the lunar surface and uttered the iconic words, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."

The United States is the only country to have successfully landed humans on the moon. The Apollo program, run by NASA, achieved this feat with six manned missions between 1969 and 1972.

The Apollo missions used a Lunar Module (LM) for landing on the Moon. The LM was a two-stage spacecraft that separated from the Command Module in orbit, descended to the lunar surface, and later launched back to dock with the Command Module for the return journey to Earth.

Neil Armstrong did experience some fear and anxiety before the Apollo 11 mission, especially about the risks involved in landing on the moon. However, his training and experience as a test pilot helped him to manage his emotions and focus on the task at hand. Ultimately, his professionalism and courage allowed him to successfully complete the mission.

The moon is currently moving away from the Earth at a rate of about 1.5 inches (3.78 cm) per year. In 10 million years, it will likely be significantly farther from Earth, but will still have gravitational effects on our planet, just to a lesser extent. The moon's gravitational pull plays a key role in stabilizing Earth's axial tilt, tides, and other environmental factors.

On the 20th of July 1969 Neil Armstrong walked on the Moon, with Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin.
