Overview
assignment patch
Apollo 11 included two spacecraft: the command module, Columbia, and the lunar module, Eagle. On 20 July 1969, the Eagle landed at Tranquility Base, and Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to set foot on an alien surface. Along with Columbia pilot Michael Collins, these astronauts became international heroes on Earth following the successful completion of the mission. (Historical records; ST reference: Star Charts)
