Apollo 11 recovery and flotation balloons, 1969

Videonummer 12542914
Apollo 11 recovery and flotation balloons. Command Module 'Columbia' for the Apollo 11 mission floating in the Pacific Ocean after splashdown, with US astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins on board, at dawn on 24 July 1969. This historic mission was the first to land astronauts on the Moon. Here, a recovery helicopter marks the position of the capsule as flotation balloons triggered by the astronauts cause it to right itself. The recovery process that followed included the deployment of US Navy divers, flotation rings and life-rafts, and the use of decontamination and quarantine procedures. The astronauts changed into biological isolation uniforms supplied by the divers, were helped out of the capsule into the life-raft, winched aboard a recovery helicopter and flown to the USS Hornet. There, they were placed in a Mobile Quarantine Facility (MQF), greeted by President Nixon, and then flown to Houston, Texas, and kept in quarantine for 18 days until 10 August 1969.
