Apollo 11 splashdown, 24 July 1969

Videonummer 12661424
Apollo 11 splashdown. Command Module 'Columbia' for the Apollo 11 mission splashing down in the Pacific Ocean 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. The drogue parachutes (red and white) slowed the final stages of the descent. The recovery process that followed involved the triggering of flotation balloons, the deployment of US Navy divers and 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.
