Plongez dans le cockpit du module de commande de 1969 en vue à la première personne. Apollo 11 VR vous invite à explorer un modèle intérieur fidèle, reconstitué à partir de scans du Smithsonian. Cette simulation casual célèbre le 50e anniversaire de l'alunissage à la base de la Tranquillité par Buzz Aldrin et Neil Armstrong.
L'expérience met en lumière les composantes essentielles du vaisseau spatial : le module de commande qui a ramené les trois astronautes sur Terre, le module de service assurant propulsion et soutien vital, ainsi que les étages de descente et de remontée du module lunaire qu'Eagle a utilisés pour rejoindre Michael Collins. Les astronautes ont largué Eagle en orbite lunaire avant l'amerrissage dans l'océan Pacifique. Passionnés d'histoire et fans de simulation, découvrez une reconstitution précise de cette mission historique.
Apollo 11 VR is a first person experience of the interior of the 1969 Command Module. Explore the cockpit firsthand in an authentic model of the interior based on scans from the Smithsonian. This is the 50th anniversary of the historic landing where Buzz Aldrin and Neal Armstrong walked on the surface of the moon on a site name Tranquility Base.
The Apollo spacecraft had three parts: a command module (CM) with a cabin for the three astronauts, and the only part that returned to Earth; a service module (SM), which supported the command module with propulsion, electrical power, oxygen, and water; and a lunar module (LM) that had two stages – a descent stage for landing on the Moon, and an ascent stage to place the astronauts back into lunar orbit. The astronauts used Eagle's ascent stage to lift off from the lunar surface and rejoin Collins in the command module. They jettisoned Eagle before they performed the maneuvers that propelled the ship out of the last of its 30 lunar orbits on a trajectory back to Earth. They returned to Earth and splashed down in the Pacific Ocean on July 24 after more than eight days in space.
Armstrong's first step onto the lunar surface was broadcast on live TV to a worldwide audience. He described the event as "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."
