Vehicle information and history:

On July 16, 1969, at 9:32 a.m., the gigantic Saturn V took off from Cape Canaveral, the most important voyage in human history. The huge Saturn V consisted of three main stages, was 110 m high and weighed 3,000 tons. It could carry a payload of 50 t and reached a speed of 11.2 km/second. The 394,000 km journey to the moon took 72 hours.

After reaching low Earth orbit, the upper assembly with the Apollo capsule received the thrust from the third stage of the launch vehicle to reach the lunar flight speed. Later, the Apollo assembly detached from the rocket, rotated, and pulled the lunar module out of its protective cover.

Coupled together in this way, this unit reached the moon and entered a lunar orbit. After a few lunar orbits, the lunar module with astronauts N. Armstrong and E. Aldrin on board separated from the command module in which only astronaut M. Collins remained. The lunar module started to land in the Sea of Tranquility with two ignitions of the retro motor. This historic event will remain unforgettable forever.
