About Apollo 11

Apollo 11 launched from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center on July 16, 1969 at 9:32 a.m. EDT, riding the powerful Saturn V rocket toward the Moon. Astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins completed an eight day mission that fulfilled the goal of landing humans on the lunar surface and returning them safely to Earth. Armstrong and Aldrin walked on the Moon while Collins orbited above in the command module, cementing Apollo 11 as a defining milestone in human exploration.

This Apollo 11 launch artwork focuses on the drama of liftoff: the rocket clearing the tower, bright engine plume, and billowing smoke clouds that frame the vehicle against the sky. It is a striking way to honor the engineering, courage, and teamwork that made the first Moon landing possible.
