The
Route
The
Saturn V lifted the Apollo 11 away from earth.
With The Third section, the Apollo 11 gets in orbit around earth.
The rocket orbited earth for one and a half times before it
accelerated and headed for the moon.
As
the Command and Service neared the moon, its rockets were fired to slow
it down and get in orbit. After
many orbits, the lunar module was released and it slowed down and
landed.
After
take-off again, the Lunar Module connected with the Command module and
was released again after everything was transferred to the Command
Module. The Service module
broke away from the Command Module, and the Astronauts landed on earth.
