Apollo 11 achieved the first crewed Moon landing.
NASA’s Apollo 11 mission launched from Florida on July 16, 1969, carrying astronauts Neil Armstrong, Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin, and Michael Collins. Armstrong and Aldrin descended to the lunar surface in the lunar module Eagle, while Collins remained in lunar orbit in the command module Columbia.
Eagle landed in the Sea of Tranquility on July 20, 1969. Armstrong became the first person to step onto the Moon, followed shortly afterward by Aldrin. The astronauts collected lunar samples, took photographs, conducted experiments, and planted an American flag before returning safely to Earth on July 24.
Apollo 8 was the first crewed mission to orbit the Moon, but it did not land. Apollo 13 suffered an oxygen-tank failure and returned safely without landing. Apollo 17, launched in 1972, was the final Apollo mission to land astronauts on the Moon. These distinctions make Apollo 11 the specific answer for the first successful crewed lunar landing.
