A NASA project celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing by helping students replicate the mission's success.
We generated a new detailed geological map of the Apollo 11 landing region based on spectral characteristics, topography, and albedo maps, which shows several mare units adjacent to the lunar module. Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) images were used to measure new CSFDs and derive the ...
Mission planners had identified launch windows in July, August and September of 1969 which could reach this site. The first launch window was between 9:32 AM and 1:54 PM EDT on July 16.A closeup of the Apollo 11 landing site on Mare Tranquilitatis with a map overlay of the New York...
Columbia was designed specifically for such a possibility and a number of pre-selected landing zones had already been established for just such a scenario, but like most elements of the Apollo 11 mission, there remained a great deal of uncertainty as to how well the spacecraft would perform. ...

this meant they would turn to the walls of the craft itself. Command module pilot Michael Collins penned notes representing coordinates on a lunar surface map, relayed to him from Mission Control, as he attempted to locate his crewmates’ landing site from orbit. One later note was a tribute...
This Apollo 10 bracket was used with the first camera to film the approach to the Apollo 11 landing site to 50,000 feet. The prior photographs were all taken from 50 miles in altitude. The photo of the L bracket and 16mm DAC camera in the window of the LM is from the Apollo 11 pho...
A look at all the factors that went into choosing the Apollo landing sites, including this gem: Famous amateur astronomer, Sir Patrick Moore, also produced a hand drawn map of the moon from his own observations using his homemade telescope at his home in Selsey, Sussex. These detailed pen ...
I would have preferred a cost of $720.69 which correlates with the Apollo 11 landing date but maybe that amount would not recoup their costs and investment? So, in my opinion, if you are buying for its uniqueness, collectibility, future value -- yes, never take it ...
