Prelaunch: astronauts enter the spaceship
Check of instruments
16 July, 1969, 13:32: Launch by a Saturn V rocket. This is followed by two revolutions in Earth orbit
2h 44-50m: Third stage of the rocket reignits to send the spacecraft to the Moon
3h 5m: CSM separates from the third stage and the LM is uncovered
3h 24m - 4h 17m: The CSM extracts the LM and they continue to the Moon (the rocket stage will miss it)
The docking maneuver is followed by a correction of the course
3d 4h: After 3 days travel the SM engine slows the spacecraft to enter Moon orbit
3d 23h: In Moon orbit, Armstrong and Aldrin move to the LM
4d 4h: The CSM and LM separate, the CSM with Collins onboard remains in Moon orbit
20 July, 20:17: Landing using the descent stage engine (4d 6h)
21 July, 02:56: First step on the Moon by Armstrong (4d 13h).
In all 2½ hours of Moon walk is made
5d 4h: 21½ hours after the landing the ascent stage lifts off
5d 8h: The ascent stage goes into Moon orbit and docks with the CSM
5d 10h: After the crew is united in the CM the ascent stage is moved away
5d 15h: The SM engine is fired to escape Moon orbit and go to the Earth
8d 2h 49m: Before reentry the CM separates from the SM and turns 180° to face the heat shield forward
8d 3h 00-18m: Air friction heats the shield and slows the CM until it can be landed by parachutes on 24 July, 16:50
8d 4h: Astronauts are picked up and brought to an aircraft carrier

Info An artist concept of how the first manned flight to the Moon was made by Apollo 11 in July, 1969. Date and time of day is UTC; time in dd-hh-mm format is mission time. CM = Command Module, SM = Service Module and LM = Lunar Module or Moon lander. CSM = combined CM and SM.

Support A good example of a set, where the whole collection adds a lot of value to each image. Yann (talk) 09:50, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose It's a nice set and the subject matter is notable enough. Sadly the quality of the individual illustrations isn't up to par. BNesides...Why is this one missing? Kleuske (talk) 12:29, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose It's an excellent, valuable set. But each image in it is smaller than the required 2 megapixels - indeed, they're less than half the size. As well, it's missing one, as Kleuske points out. May I suggest COM:VIC? Adam Cuerden (talk) 15:38, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose Per Kleuske. Michael Barera (talk) 21:00, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
