Apollo 11 flight

An artists concept of how the first manned flight to the Moon was made by Apollo 11 in July, 1969. Date and time of day is UTC; time in dd-hh-mm format is mission time.^[1] CM = Command Module (Columbia), SM = Service Module and LM = Lunar Module or Moon lander (Eagle). CSM = combined CM and SM.

16 July, 1969, 13:32: Launch by a Saturn V rocket. This is followed by two revolutions in Earth orbit
2h 44-50m: Third stage of the rocket reignites to send the spacecraft to the Moon
3h 5m: CSM separates from the third stage and the LM is uncovered
3h 24m - 4h 17m: The CSM extracts the LM and they continue to the Moon (the rocket stage will miss it)
3d 4h: After 3 days travel the SM engine slows the spacecraft to enter Moon orbit
3d 23h: In Moon orbit, Armstrong and Aldrin move to the LM
4d 4h: The CSM and LM separate, the CSM with Collins onboard remains in Moon orbit
20 July, 20:17: Landing using the descent stage engine (4d 6h)
21 July, 02:56: First step on the Moon by Armstrong (4d 13h).
5d 4h: 21½ hours after the landing the ascent stage lifts off
5d 8h: The ascent stage goes into Moon orbit and docks with the CSM
5d 10h: After the crew is united in the CM the ascent stage is moved away
5d 15h: The SM engine is fired to escape Moon orbit and go to the Earth
8d 2h 49m: Before reentry the CM separates from the SM and turns 180° to face the heat shield forward
8d 3h 00-18m: Air friction heats the shield and slows the CM until it can be landed by parachutes on 24 July, 16:50
8d 4h: Astronauts are picked up and brought to an aircraft carrier
