Eugene Cernan walked on the moon on December 13, 1972. Cernan accomplished this feat as part of the Apollo 17 mission for NASA.
Six separate two-man crews landed on the moon. They are: Apollo 11 - Neil Armstrong & Buzz Aldrin, July 20, 1969 Apollo 12 - Pete Conrad & Alan Bean, November 19, 1969 Apollo 14 - Alan Shepard & Edgar Mitchell, February 5, 1971 Apollo 15 - Dave Scott & Jim Irwin, July 30, 1971 Apollo 16 - John Young & Charlie Duke, April 21, 1972 Apollo 17 - Gene Cernan & Harrison Schmitt, December 11, 1972
Apollo M. O. Smith died in 1997.
Ray Apollo was born in Hasbrouck Heights, in New Jersey, USA.
The Greek god, Apollo, is the god of music, singing, poetry, and other acting related things, so I suppose it was to subtlety ask him for luck when the actors performed, or that they were dedicating their performance to Apollo
Apollo 17 was the final mission of NASA's Apollo program. It was the only mission to include a geologist, Harrison Schmitt, among the crew. The mission successfully completed three moonwalks, collected a record amount of lunar samples, and returned safely to Earth.
The Apollo 11 mission in 1969 successfully brought back the first moon rock samples to Earth.
Apollo 11 brought back samples of rock and soil from the Moon, known as lunar samples. These samples were collected during the Moon landing mission in July 1969. They provided valuable insights into the geology, composition, and history of the Moon.
Apollo 8 brought back rock samples from the moon as well as photographs and data collected during its mission. The rock samples were important for studying the composition and geology of the moon.
The purpose of the Apollo 13 mission was to land on the moon and further explore its surface, conducting experiments and collecting samples. However, due to an oxygen tank explosion, the mission had to be aborted, and the focus shifted to safely returning the astronauts back to Earth.
The Apollo 16 mission, launched in 1972, successfully landed two astronauts on the Moon. They conducted three moonwalks, collected samples, set up experiments, and explored the lunar highlands. It was the second-to-last manned mission in the Apollo program and helped further our understanding of the Moon's geology and surface.
All of the missions that actually landed brought back moon rocks . These were the missions of Apollo 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17. The Apollo 17 mission was of particular importance geologically, because one of the astronauts, Harrison Schmidt, was a geologist.
The Apollo 11 mission brought back samples of moon rocks and soil. These samples were collected by astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin during their historic lunar landing.
The primary objective of the Apollo 11 mission was to land astronauts on the Moon and return them safely to Earth. The mission also aimed to collect lunar samples, conduct scientific experiments, and demonstrate the technology and capabilities needed for future lunar missions.
The Apollo 11 mission conducted experiments to study the moon's surface composition, seismic activity, and magnetic field. They collected rock samples to study the moon's geology and history, providing valuable insights into the moon's formation and evolution. The mission also took photographs and measurements to further our understanding of Earth's nearest celestial neighbor.
There has not just been an Apollo mission. The last Apollo mission to the moon was Apollo 17 in 1972
Apollo 11 (AS-506) This was the first lunar landing mission and included the crew members Armstrong, Collins, and Aldrin. Mission Duration: approximately 8 days - 195 hr 18 min 35 sec. Moon rock sample mass returned: 47.8lbs
