Detailed explanation-1: -Spacesuits are more than just garments – in the airless vacuum of space or on the freezing surface of the moon, they keep astronauts alive. Explore how NASA engineers like Amy Ross and Paromita Mitra have contributed to the development of the next generation of spacesuits.
Detailed explanation-2: -Space blankets were used as insulation in the suits that astronauts wore when walking on the moon. They also serve as a radiation barrier for instruments, protecting them from extreme temperatures.
Detailed explanation-3: -Ten lunar modules were launched into space. Of these, six were landed by humans on the Moon from 1969 to 1972.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Apollo 11 Lunar Module (LM) “Eagle” was the first crewed vehicle to land on the Moon. It carried two astronauts, Commander Neil A. Armstrong and LM pilot Edwin E. “Buzz” Aldrin, Jr., the first men to walk on the Moon.
Detailed explanation-5: -The command and lunar modules were joined by a docking tunnel. Once they had reached the Moon’s orbit, astronauts Neil Armstrong (mission commander) and Buzz Aldrin (lunar module pilot) would crawl through this tunnel into the lunar module ready for its descent to the Moon’s surface.
