Apollo 11

Apollo 11 (July 16–24, 1969) was the American spaceflight that first landed humans on the Moon.

Apollo Lunar Module

The Apollo Lunar Module (LM), originally designated the Lunar Excursion Module (LEM), was the lunar lander spacecraft that was flown between lunar orbit and the Moon's surface during the United States' Apollo program.

Apollo program

The Apollo program, also known as Project Apollo, was the United States human spaceflight program carried out by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), which succeeded in preparing and landing the first men on the Moon from 1968 to 1972.

Langley Research Center

The Langley Research Center (LaRC or NASA Langley), located in Hampton, Virginia near the Chesapeake Bay front of Langley Air Force Base, is the oldest of NASA's field centers.

Lunar Landing Research Facility

The Lunar Landing Research Facility was an area at NASA's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia that was used to simulate Apollo Moon landings with a mock Lunar Module powered by a small rocket motor suspended from a crane over a simulated lunar landscape. Lunar Orbit and Landing Approach and lunar Landing Research Facility are Apollo program.

Moon landing

A Moon landing or lunar landing is the arrival of a spacecraft on the surface of the Moon, including both crewed and robotic missions.

Reduced Gravity Walking Simulator

The Reduced Gravity Walking Simulator, or Lunar Landing Walking Simulator, was a facility developed by NASA in the early 1960s to study human locomotion under simulated lunar gravity conditions. Lunar Orbit and Landing Approach and Reduced Gravity Walking Simulator are Langley Research Center.
