During that time, they deployed science and engineering experiments, photographed The Apollo mission simulator was 65 feet wide, 30 feet high, and over 100 feet long. The lunar module hatch opened at 02:39:35 UTC on 21 July 1969,Īnd 17 minutes later, at 02:56:15 UTC (22:56:15 EDT on 20 July 1969),Īrmstrong stepped off the lunar module's ladder and onto the surface.Īrmstrong and Aldrin's single moonwalk lasted two and a half hours. It is often reported that theĪstronauts were too excited to rest in reality, the rest period was an optional buffer in case Armstrong and Aldrin needed time to adapt to lunar gravity or had technical problems to work through.ĮVA preparations officially began three and a half hours after After 16 uncrewed vehicle-testing missions and the tragedy of the Apollo 1 launch pad fire, the Earth-orbiting Apollo 7 and 9 missions tested the Command and Lunar Modules. Optional 4-hour rest period to begin 2 hours after landing, whichĪrmstrong and Aldrin opted to skip. The Apollo Program landed humans on the Moon and brought them back safely to Earth. Safely on the surface, Armstrong and Aldrin worked through a longĬhecklist to ensure their spacecraft was healthy and that they would beĪble to lift off for the return home.
