Michael Collins and Edwin E. Aldrin Jr. from the Manned Spacecraft Operations
Building to the transfer van for the eight-mile trip to Pad 39A. Liftoff

lunar landing mission. (KSC-69PC-369)
16 July 1969: The crew men of the Apollo 11 lunar landing mission leave
the Kennedy Space Center's (KSC) Manned Spacecraft Operations Building
(MSOB) during the pre-launch countdown. Astronauts Neil A. Armstrong, commander;

20 Julu 1969: The deployment of the flag of the United States on the
surface of the Moon is captured on film during the first Apollo 11 lunar
landing mission. Here, astronaut Neil A. Armstrong, commander, stands on
the left at the flag's staff. Astronaut Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr., lunar module
pilot, is also pictured. The picture was taken from film exposed by the
16mm Data Acquisition Camera (DAC) which was mounted in the Lunar Module
(LM). While astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin descended in the Lunar Module
(LM) "Eagle" to explore the Sea of Tranquility region of the Moon, astronaut
Michael Collins, command module pilot, remained with the Command and Service
Modules (CSM) "Columbia" in lunar-orbit. (S69-40308)
20 July 1969: This photograph of astronaut Neil A. Armstrong, Apollo
11 commander, was taken inside the Lunar Module (LM) while the LM rested
on the lunar surface. Astronauts Armstrong and Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr., lunar
module pilot, had already completed their historic extravehicular activity
(EVA) when this picture was made. Astronaut Michael Collins, command module
pilot, remained with the Command and Service Modules (CSM) in lunar orbit
while Armstrong and Aldrin explored the Moon's surface. (C-1995-03440

relax following their successful lunar landing mission. They spent two-and-one-half
days in the quarantine trailer enroute from the USS Hornet, prime recovery
ship, to the Lunar Receiving Laboratory at the Manned Spacecraft Center
in Houston. The Hornet docked at Pearl Harbor where the trailer was transferred
to a jet aircraft for the flight to Houston. (KSC-69PC-484)
