And roger chaffee. during a launch test in january 1967 a fire broke out in the capsules cabin and spread quickly all 3 astronauts were killed. nasa blamed the fire on deficiencies in capsule design workmanship and quality control. the agency made improvements to the spacecraft and to operational procedures. meanwhile nasa continued to experiment with using parachutes to return apollo capsule safely to earth. a more difficult challenge was the design and construction of the vehicle that would ac...

Surface and gather soil samples whats believed to have crashed into a mountain on july 21st. on the afternoon of july 19th apollo 11 swung into lunar orbit and the crew started making preparations for their descent to the moon surface. after the janet armstrong hoped for the best. set for later afternoon on july 20th armstrong and buzz aldrin now entered the eagle lunar lander and separated from the columbia command module. armstrong steered the lunar module standing up the vehicle had no seats ...

Set up equipment to measure the moons exact distance from the earth and to study lunar earthquakes. the astronauts climbed back into the lunar module close the hatch and sealed it. while they were moving around inside buzz aldrin created a serious technical problem. there i know for in his background its bumped into the ignition switch for the ascent. to for in see should we have. buzz aldrin used a felt tip pen to activate the mechanism. before they reentered the lunar module armstrong and aldr...

Armstrong 110. command module pilot mike collins 99. lunar module pilot buzz aldrin, 88. >> well have some radar in shortly. >> the flight dynamic officer dave reid will report a refined radar after more tracking. >> apollo 11 this is houston. the booster has been configured for orbital coast. both spacecraft are looking good. over. >> all right. roger. >> want some of these lights down further, mike? >> dont worry about it. >> apollo 11, over. >> go ahead. >> for your information, radar shows y...

Third stage, turning around, docking with the lunar module, extracting the lunar module from the saturn third stage and pushing ahead enroute to the moon. ♪ >> a very weak signal. we believe that trs now maneuvering the spacecraft. the antenna patterns arent too good at the moment. >> apollo 11, this is houston broadcasting in the blind.

This is, of course, the great day for mankind when we leave our planet earth and set foot on the moon. so on this historic day neil armstrong and buzz aldrin are in their lunar module in their space suits. on this next pass, they are preparing to undock. >> all spacecraft looking very good at this time. the following revolution, revolution 13, armstrong and aldrin, they will undock from the command and service module, from which point the power descent to the lunar surface will be initiated. >> ...

Here in mission control center reports receiving continuous data from the passive seismic experiment placed on the lunar surface last night by the apollo 11 crew. recorded the astronauts footsteps on the moon and will probably receive its strongest signal when the ascent signal ignites and starts the lunar module into orbit and rendezvous with columbia. >> tranquility base, houston. >> go ahead. >> roger, just a reminder we want to make sure you leave the rendezvous radar circuit breakers full. ...
