Mission objectives: |
Perform a manned lunar landing and return; conduct scientific experiments; collect soil and rock samples for return to earth. |
|
Results: |
All mission objectives were achieved. Armstrong became the first man to set foot on the moon on July 20, followed by Aldrin; Collins remained in the orbiting CSM. The crew collected 21 kg of lunar surface material to be returned for analysis and conducted other scientific and photographic tasks on the surface during their 2-hour EVA period. |
