The crew of Apollo 11 carried these maps of the lunar surface on their mission to the Moon in July 1969. The maps had been prepared by the United States Army Topographic Command specifically for the first landing on the Moon. Neil Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, and Michael Collins began their journey to the Moon on the morning of July 16, 1969 in the Command Module Columbia atop a Saturn V rocket. They achieved lunar orbit on July 20 and then flew an average of 60 miles above the Moon's surface. Armstrong and Aldrin boarded the lunar module Eagle on July 20, and 4 days, 6 hours, 45 minutes, and 47 seconds after the flight began the two astronauts became the first two human beings to land on the Moon.
