Full Description Apollo 10 commander, Thomas P. Stafford (left) and Kennedy Space Center (KSC) Deputy Director Albert Siepert (right) talk with U.S. Vice President Spiro T. Agnew a few minutes before the launch of Apollo 11. The Apollo 11 mission, the first manned lunar mission, launched from KSC, Florida via the Saturn V launch vehicle on July 16, 1969 and safely returned to Earth on July 24, 1969. The Saturn V vehicle was developed by the Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) under the direction of Dr. Wernher von Braun. Aboard the space craft were astronauts Neil A. Armstrong, commander, Michael Collins, Command Module (CM) pilot, and Edwin E. Aldrin Jr., Lunar Module (LM) pilot. The CM, piloted by Michael Collins remained in a parking orbit around the Moon while the LM, named ?Eagle??, carrying astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin, landed on the Moon. Armstrong was the first human to ever stand on the lunar surface, followed by Edwin (Buzz) Aldrin. During 2½ hours of surface exploration, the crew collected 47 pounds of lunar surface material for analysis back on Earth. With the success of Apollo 11, the national objective to land men on the Moon and return them safely to Earth had been accomplished.
A Lunar Rille
Title A Lunar Rille
Explanation What could cause a long indentation on the Moon [ http://www.nineplanets.org/luna.html ]? First discovered over 200 years ago with a small telescope, rilles [ http://members.evansville.net/slk/rilles.htm ] (rhymes with pills) appear all over the Moon [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap010218.html ]. Three types of rilles [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap020913.html ] are now recognized: sinuous rilles [ http://volcano.und.nodak.edu/vwdocs/planet_volcano/lunar/sin_rilles/Overview.html ], which have many meandering curves, arcuate rilles [ http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/History/SP-362/ch4.2.htm ] which form sweeping arcs, and straight rilles [ http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/History/SP-362/ch6.3.htm ], like Ariadaeus Rille [ http://www.astrosurf.com/lunascan/AS10-31-4645.htm ] pictured above. Long rilles such as Ariadaeus [ http://www.ne.jp/asahi/stellar/scenes/moon_e/moon_a32.htm ] Rille extend for hundreds of kilometers. Sinuous rilles [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap021029.html http://volcano.und.nodak.edu/vwdocs/planet_volcano/lunar/sin_rilles/hadl_orbit.html ] are now thought to be remnants of ancient lava flows, but the origins of arcuate and linear rilles are still a topic of research [ http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-bib_query?bibcode=1997LPI....28..541H ]. The above linear rille [ http://grin.hq.nasa.gov/ABSTRACTS/GPN-2000-001486.html ] was photographed by the Apollo 10 crew [ http://www.nasm.si.edu/apollo/AS10/a10crew.htm ] in 1969 during their historic approach to only 14-kilometers above the lunar surface [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap020128.html ]. Two months later, Apollo 11 [ http://history.nasa.gov/ap11ann/introduction.htm ], incorporating much knowledge gained from Apollo 10 [ http://www.lpi.usra.edu/expmoon/Apollo10/A10_Overview.html ], landed on the Moon.

Title Apollo 10 Command/Service Modules seen from Lunar Module after separation
Description The Apollo 10 Command and Service Modules (CSM) are photographed from the Lunar Module (LM) after CSM/LM separation in lunar orbit. The CSM was about 175 statute miles east of Smyth's Sea and was above the rough terrain which is typical of the lunar farside. The eastward oblique view of the lunar surface is centered near 105 degrees east longitude and 1 degree north latitude. The horizon is approximately 600 kilometers (374 statute miles) away. Numerous bright craters and the absence of shadows show that the sun was almost directly overhead when this photograph was taken.

The proposed landing area for Apollo 11 (Lunar Landing Site 2) is a relatively smooth maria area in the upper right quadrant of the photographed area. The prominent linear feature at left is Hypatia Rille (called "U.S. 1" by the Apollo 10 crew). The prominent crater centered in Hypatia Rille at top left is Moltke AC (code name "Chuck Hole"). Moltke, the prominent crater to the right of Hypatia Rille, is centered near 24.2 degrees east longitude, and 0.6 degrees south latitude.
