Apollo 11 lunar module preparations. The lunar module used during the Apollo 11 mission was named LM-5 'Eagle'. Here, is has been assembled by Grumman Aerospace Corporation and is being handed over to NASA. Apollo 11 was the first manned lunar landing mission, touching down on 20 July 1969. Neil Armstrong and Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin, were the first humans to set foot on the Moon. The remaining crew member, Michael Collins, stayed in lunar orbit on board the command module Columbia. The Eagle consisted of two sub-modules: the lower Descent stage and the upper Ascent stage. The two stages were locked together during landing, but only the Ascent stage was used to transport Armstrong and Aldrin back to Columbia, leaving the Descent stage behind on the Moon's surface. | |
