Apollo 11 History:
The American astronauts, namely Neil Armstrong, Neil Armstrong,
Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, and Michael Collins took the first steps on the
moon on July 20, 1969. These astronauts have used Apollo 11
spacecraft for this mission.
The Apollo 11 rocket had three parts namely: the Command Module,
the Service Module, and the Lunar Module "Eagle". While astronauts
Armstrong and Aldrin descended to the Moon in "Eagle", Michael
Collins remained alone in "Columbia". For 28 hours he served as a
communications link and photographed the lunar surface. After
reclaiming Armstrong and Aldrin from the ascent stage of the Lunar
Module, "Columbia" was the only part of the spacecraft to return to
Earth. The blunt-end design for the Command Module was chosen to
build upon experience gained with the similarly shaped Mercury and
Gemini spacecraft. The spacecraft reentered the atmosphere with its
protective heat shield facing forward. Layers of special "ablative"
material on the shield were purposely allowed to burn away during
reentry to help dissipate the extremely high temperatures caused by
atmospheric friction.
The Apollo 11 spacecraft is on display in the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration.
