However, when Apollo 11 neared its destination, astronauts performed a braking manoeuvre known as "lunar orbit insertion" to slow the spacecraft and cause it to go into orbit around the Moon.

Even Neil Armstrong couldn't remember exactly what he said at that key moment in the first-ever moon landing, NASA's Apollo 11 mission, as he stepped onto the lunar surface. You know the line ...

The successful Apollo 11 mission delivered two American astronauts – Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin – to the lunar surface on July 20, 1969 (while Michael Collins famously remained in orbit). ...

Mr. Collins is often the forgotten astronaut on Apollo 11, the one who remained in orbit, 60 miles above the moon in the Apollo command module, waiting for his crewmates, Neil Armstrong and Buzz ...

Apollo 10 got within nine miles of the moon's surface. The crew took pictures and gathered information about the landing sites for Apollo 11. This mission began on May 18, 1969 and ended on May 26.

Apollo 11 fell into orbit 60 miles above the moon's surface, and on July 20 at 1:45 p.m. EDT, the Eagle with Armstrong and Aldrin inside separated from Columbia. The Eagle crew then put themselves ...

The Apollo 11 lunar module traveled through space after being propelled toward the moon by a powerful rocket. Astronauts made the journey in a different, attached module − called the command module.

After traveling 240,000 miles in 76 hours, Apollo 11 entered in a lunar orbit. The next day, the lunar module Eagle, with Armstrong and Aldrin inside, separated from the command module where ...

John Glenn, the first American to orbit Earth, hailed from New Concord on the opposite side of the state, some 150 miles ... 1969, with news of the history Apollo 11 moon landing.

It took Apollo 11 and its astronauts four days, six hours, and 45 minutes to reach the moon. The mission initially aimed to send a three-person crew to orbit the moon, rather than landing on the ...

The Apollo 11 Eagle Lunar Module ascent stage was abandoned in lunar orbit after the historic landing in 1969. Its fate is unknown. Numerical analysis described here provides evidence that […] ...
