Dragon 11002 Apollo 11 "Lunar Landing" CSM "Columbia" + LM "Eagle" + Astronauts

Apollo 11 is a space mission carried out by NASA, the main goal of which was a manned landing on the moon. This mission was the culmination of the Apollo program, which was launched in 1961, in connection with the announcement by President JF Kennedy in the same year that the USA would land on the Silver Globe by the end of the 1960s. The launch vehicle used in the Apollo 11 mission was the Saturn V rocket, the construction of which was made by the German scientist Werner von Braun - the same one who constructed the V-2 rockets during World War II. The two main spacecraft on the mission were the CSM-107 Columbia and the LM-5 Eagle. The crew of the mission consisted of three astronauts: Neil Armstrong (its commander), Buzz Aldrin (lunar module pilot - Eagle ship) and Michael Collins (command module pilot - Columbia ship). The Moon landing of Eagle took place on July 20, 1969, and a day later (July 21), Neil Armstrong was the first man in history to set foot on Earth's natural satellite. Three days later, all crew members returned safely to Earth. Thus, the Apollo 11 mission was completely successful.
