What was the exact launch time of Apollo 11 (UTC)?

Apollo 11 launched at 13:32 UTC on July 16, 1969.

More precisely, the Saturn V lifted off at 13:32:00 UTC, which was 9:32 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The launch began the first crewed mission to land humans on the Moon and return them safely to Earth.

The time is sometimes written as 13:32 UTC without seconds because the seconds add no practical distinction in most trivia or historical summaries. Apollo 11 entered Earth orbit about 12 minutes after liftoff, then performed its trans-lunar injection burn at 16:16:16 UTC after roughly one and a half orbits. That burn sent the spacecraft from Earth toward the Moon.
