The Apollo 11 lunar landing mission crew, pictured from left to right, Neil A. Armstrong, commander; Michael Collins, command module pilot; and Edwin E. Aldrin Jr., lunar module pilot. 

Armstrong and Aldrin descended to the surface aboard the Lunar Module  Eagle, landing in the Sea of Tranquility on July 20, 1969 at 20:17 UTC while Collins remained in lunar orbit aboard the Command Module Columbia. Armstrong became the first human to walk on the Moon approximately six hours after landing, followed by Aldrin 19 minutes later.
