40th Anniversary of The Moon Landing

Saturn V
Apollo 11 was the first manned mission to land on the Moon. The first steps by humans on another planetary body were taken by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on July 20, 1969. The astronauts also returned to Earth the first samples from another planetary body. Apollo 11 achieved its primary mission to perform a manned lunar landing and return the mission safely to Earth - and paved the way for the Apollo lunar landing missions to follow - forever remembered for the iconic words uttered by Neil Armstrong as he was about to step onto the lunar surface, "One small step for Man, one giant leap for Mankind".

Apollo Saturn V

The Saturn V was the largest operational launch vehicle ever produced. Standing over 363 feet high with its Apollo Spacecraft payload, it produced over 7.5 million pounds of thrust at lift-off. It enabled the crew of Apollo 11 and subsequent Apollo crews to leave the pull of the Earth's gravity and reach the Moon.

One Small Step For Man...

The Lunar Module was the Apollo spacecraft that landed on the moon and returned to lunar orbit. It consisted of the Descent and Ascent stages.
The Descent stage contained the landing gear, descent rocket engine and fuel to land on the moon, as well as all the equipment needed by the Astronauts whilst on the moon's surface. As the missions developed more sophisticated equipment was carried and is part of this set.

The Ascent stage contained, amongst other vital equipment, the crew cabin; environmental control (life support) system; overhead hatch/docking port; ascent rocket engine; and enough fuel, battery power, and breathing oxygen to return to lunar orbit and rendezvous with the Apollo Command and Service Module.
