Apollo 11 was launched by aSaturn Vrocket fromKennedy Space CenteronMerritt Island, Florida, on July 16 at 13:32 UTC, and it was the fifth crewed mission ofNASA'sApollo program. The Apollospacecrafthad three parts: acommand module (CM)with a cabin for the three astronauts, the only part that returned to Earth; aservice module (SM), which supported the command module with propulsion, electrical power, oxygen, and water; and alunar module (LM)that had two stages—a descent stage for landing on the Moon and an ascent stage to place the astronauts back into lunar orbit.

After beingsent to the Moonby the Saturn V's third stage, the astronauts separated the spacecraft from it and traveled for three days until they entered lunar orbit. Armstrong and Aldrin then moved intoEagleand landed in theSea of Tranquilityon July 20. The astronauts usedEagle's ascent stage to lift off from the lunar surface and rejoin Collins in the command module. They jettisonedEaglebefore they performed the maneuvers that propelledColumbiaout of the last of its 30 lunar orbits onto a trajectory back to Earth.[9]They returned to Earth andsplashed downin the Pacific Ocean on July 24 after more than eight days in space.
