Apollo 11 Lunar Module Eagle landed in the Sea of Tranquility on July 20, 1969 with Neil Armstrong, and Buzz Aldrin while Mike Collins remained inside the Command Service Module Columbia orbiting the Moon. The lunar module was on the surface of the Moon for 21 hours and 36 minutes. Their walk on the Moon was 2 hours and 31 minutes. They brought home almost 48 lbs of rocks. The Lunar Module (LM) has a descent stage with the landing gear and its own gimbaled descent engine that they left on the Moon. Neil and Buzz returned to Lunar Orbit in the ascent stage that has its own non-gimbaled engine. For ascent they wanted the simplest engine possible {no gimbaling (attitude controlled by RCS)}, and no turbo pumps (hypergolic fuel only). Apollo 11 launch from Kennedy Space Center on July 16 and returned to Earth on July 24. Saturn V stack weighed over 96,000 lbs at launch with a return weight just shy of 11,000 lbs.
The three part series is not a simulation but instead an animation. All models and animations were created by me with Blender. You can download Blender for free to build your own models and animations. Lots of tutorials in CZcams on how to use it.
Major Scenes include:
1. Translunar coast.
2. Entering lunar orbit with close up of Lunar Module front leg plaque
3. Command Service Module burn to enter lunar orbit.
4. Spacecraft exiting the back side of the moon. Earthrise.
5. Entering the Lunar Module and closing the top hatch.
6. Lunar Module activation and landing leg deployment. A pyrotechnic device fires cutting a titanium strap which allows the landing gear to deploy and lock.
7. Undocking. T
8. PDI (powered descent initiation). Apollo 11 starts PDI with the windows face down. This part of the animation shows that point where they yaw to the windows up orientation.
9. Final Approach and Landing. Starting at time 10:23, the animation, audio, pitch, roll, altitude, and ground track are running in real time and is accurate based on technical data from the Apollo 11 mission along with using some of LROs products. I have no idea what the Apollo 11 yaw angles were, so this animation has the yaw angle set to zero. The outside view during this phase was built from LRO imagery of the Apollo 11 landing site. I was able to manipulate the image to sort of give the illusion of 3D. For those with a good eye, you can also spot the real lunar module descent stage shadow along with the descent stage itself (I made no attempt to scrub it out.).
10. Exiting the Lunar Lander. Unfortunately, the real LRO imagery just did not have the resolution to pull off the up close outside views. So...it is fake. If you wonder why I walked the view to the back of the lunar lander and looked up, please see this real picture of Apollo 11 Eagle sitting on the moon: www.nasa.gov/sites/default/fi...
Revision Changes inspired by a lot of viewer comments...as well as my animating skills getting better. Changes include:
1. Changed the Sea of Tranquility to be flat. I used real LRO photos of the Apollo 11 landing site. During landing, the outside views are real. But I had to take a flat image and do some trickery to make it look like it had some depth.
2. Added RCS jets firing on both the SM and LM.
3. Put the Earth and Sun at the proper positions (at least sort of)
4. Made the CDR's window and rendezvous windows with double panes along with the etched glass for the landing phase of the video.
5. Fixed the pitch on the attitude indicator. Realized that I had inadvertently animated pitch backwards.
6. Added exhaust and engine glow on the descent engine.
7. This time I actually put in the actual landing flight profile of Apollo 11. I had previously used Apollo 12 since the data was more readily available and much easier to use.
8. Changed the SPS flame to not look so smoky.
9. Fixed LM Hatch placard and radiation placard spellings.

1201 alarms. 1202 alarm. If you look into those, you will realize how smart these folks actually were to design the self-recovering software that made this all possible.
As I said before, this never gets old. I still get goosebumps 53 years later.
Thanks for your comment. More content coming
Me too. Personally, just imagine the deliberate intent involved for this brand of manifested...magic. THIS animation makes us appreciate the quality of the people who forced this reality to blossom. It may seem overreaching in concept, but try to imagine what depth of persons it may take, to fly and comprehend, those vehicles that apparently are currently..."found".😉
In 1969, I was 12 watching this live on a very small black and white TV. It was difficult to visualize what was happening with the fuzziness of the reception out where we lived and my unfamiliarity with the details of the spacecraft. These videos fill in a lot of gaps and how they operated in that space. You also bring home just how claustrophobic it was, making it something I'd never have been able to do. Much admiration and thanks to you for your obvious hard work and skill.
Thanks for your comments. And a lot of what you said is what inspired me to put these together. While I will agree that it looks claustrophobic wearing space suits in a 1 G environment, with space suits off in 0 G and with at least one couch folded up, you have quite a lot of space.
The more I learn, the more amazed I am by this mission. Mind numbingly complex, pages and pages of procedures all of which had to be executed to perfection. The impeccable landing just 20 seconds before fuel loss. I’m just in awe at what NASA accomplished in 1969.
43 seconds of fuel remained, on later analysis. Also, the LEM could have survived a 30-meter drop from hover due to its collapsible legs, which were barely moved in all landings. The delayed landing was 4 miles downrange (west) and one mile south of target, owing to LEM-CSM connection not being completely evacuated of air, prior to undocking.
What a wild detail, that blows me away! Sorry, I couldn’t resist. From where did you find that nugget? And thanks!
I've nver heard the flight controls yell STAY! after touchdown. Heroes from the epic.
"Magnificent Animation" (as Buzz might say!)
Thanks!
TODOS ESTAS RECREACIONES HAN SIDO Y SON E X C E L E N T E S....¡ ¡ MUY BUENAS ! !
Thanks for watching!
I love and appreciate that check list audio starting with "engine stop, ok, ACA out of detent...." at 14:29. For whatever reason that audio was muted for decades, making the landing audio sound like "contact light...engine stop.....Houston, Tranquility Base here," leading to the popular myth that the first word spoken from the moon surface was "Houston." I've watched scores of landing videos and almost all skip that checklist. Even many that include it, mangle it, cutting it off early or even calling some of it out of order. Only some very small percentage of Apollo 11 landing videos include that checklist. So odd that something with such historic significance would be so often mangled and so seldom done right. Thanks!
Thanks much for your comments. Did you get a chance to see part 1 and 3?
Armstrong had to reset the ACA to the new post-landing attitude by taking the stick out of it's centre detent and letting it return . ACA = Attitude Control Assembly.
I was 18. Dad was career NASA. Started with Mercury. I grew up walking around Glenn Research (formerly Lewis) seeing all the tech. Dad was so humble….”it’s just Newtonian physics, son, don’t sleep through Physics class.”
I think I will tell that to my son too.
I was twelve years old when my mother, brother and I watched the Apollo 11 launch from just outside Cape Kennedy. It was loud even though we were probably 4 or 5 miles from the Saturn V booster as it cleared the tower. We watched the broadcast on a black and white television set in a motel room somewhere in Florida (we drove down to Key West during the mission). We lived in New Orleans so I went on a school field trip to Michoud to see where and how the Saturn V was made... Years later I was working doing laser shows and did one in the Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville where I projected laser and video graphics on the side of one of the left over Saturn Vs. I got to climb around the rocket and was saddened by its condition (it was rusting outside before they refurbished it and built a building around it). During our evacuation from New Orleans post Katrina we toured the Johnson Space Center control room that was used during Apollo 11. I'm 67 years old now and on my bucket list is to go and watch a Space X Starship launch in person. Oh, I also saw a SpaceX dragon re-entry that landed in the Gulf of Mexico... it resembled a meteor as it flew across the night sky shedding ablative material from its heat shield
very cool
Simply fantastic! Unbelievably this actually happened
Thanks for watching. If you liked this content, please see my Apollo 15 and Skylab series.
There are do many details ! It's amazing.
Thanks for watching and for your comment
Honored to be your 100th commenter. This is simply fantastic! The detail is outrageous. Makes me want to learn blender as this had to be fun to make. Thanks for putting in such time, you really brought this amazing moment to life!
Thanks for noticing! I have a new video coming out later this year. I have taken the time to put a lot more detail into the spacecraft and launch site. So it is taking me a while to put it together.
I don’t know how you do all of that but it is damn cool!
Thanks…..persistence and determination.
Amazing! Having watched just about everything Apollo this is by far the best. When they undocked from the CM, even tho Armstrong was a cool cucumber, it had to hit home that this thing is real and the absolute pressure not to screw the pooch.
Thanks for watching. I assume you saw part 1 and 3 also. And if you liked my A11 series, please take a look at my A15 series: czcams.com/video/kYHl42M2I2w/video.htmlsi=PnZwZMCjlOnDwcXJ

Great stuff .
thank you
Expected to see the contact with regolith around 14:20... The "contact light" callout sends shivers down my spine. The LM probe touching the Moon deserves focus as much as the first step on the Moon.
Thanks much for your comment. When I get stuck trying to make something look convincing, I try a different camera shot instead. In this case, I purposely left all 3 probes off the legs because I di not really know how to model them getting all bent and distorted during landing. With that said, please take a look at my part 2 with extended scenes where I show the landing several times in a row Fromm different angles. The link is in the description to this video. Let me know what you think after seeing that video.
Wow! I've seen every bit of footage available on Apollo but this CG gives the best possible view of each craft's environment and layout. I can finally see exactly where and how all the controls, hatches, floors and walls intersect all the way to what view you get out of each window. I especially liked the view through a LM window from a CM window. Will watch the next parts too, but had to comment.
Thanks for watching and for your comments! As the series progressed, I kept adding detail to both the interior and exterior. The Translunar Coast video has the most detail of the Apollo 11 series. If you have not seen it, I also have a Skylab series. And I currently have an Apollo 15 series in work (parts 1 and 2 on CZcams now. My Apollo 15 series has much more LM external detail than my Apollo 11 series.
Awesome! Thanks for your comment. I work for comments. My Apollo 15 series was my first venture into animating people.
Very beautiful sweet sir Tq so much
Thanks for your comment!
Well, that was absolutely amazing! Thanks for all the work you put into this. You brought it alive. Brings back so many memories. Incredible days and wonderful to relive them through this vid. Many, many thanks!
If you liked that one, ther is also part 1 and part 3…links are in the description of this video. Let me know what you think
@@opieswenson Thanks Drew. Be back within the next few days. Take care.
Outstanding!
Thanks!
Awesome!
Thanks! There are 2 other parts if you have not seen them. If you click on my blue handle (@opieswenson) or on my icon, it will take you to all my videos.
Very good work producing this.
Thanks. If you have not seen part 1 and 3, please see those too. More content coming
Very nice graphics. Lovely 👍
Thanks!
Excellent! Congrats!
Thanks for watching and your comment. If you liked my A11 series, please take a look at my A15 series which has more detail and shows the unfolding of the Rover and ALSEP deployment.
That was delightful to watch, thanks for sharing. Lovely work. You obviously spent a lot of time to get the detail right. I wish to provide some feedback, as I know you care about detail. at 18.31 Neil is climbing down the LM ladder. Quadrant 4 should be deployed as it contained the Modularized Equipment Storage Assembly (MESA). For Apollo 11 it contained the camera which captured Neil Armstrong's first step on the Moon. Thanks for an excellent video series.
Yes---you are correct. Please take a look at my Apollo 15 video where I correct this (and of course A15 had a different MESA than A11: czcams.com/video/VlJspdHEYAs/video.htmlsi=YCqbcW7U_ADyjICC
great job bro.
There is a long time that im not modeling in Blender but i love that software
Thanks! If you get a chance, please see parts 1 and 3.
❤Nice job
Thank you
It was the missing part compared to the previous video, the incredible coupling of the eagle module and the services module.
This is historic and epic in the present day.
I know a magician shouldn't reveal his secrets, I don't know how it was done so precisely.
😃😃😃
Thanks for your comments. There is a part 3 if you have not seen it. And no magic was done. Just using Blender (you can download it free on Mac or PC). I reference lots of online drawings, and photos. In the process of doing a more detailed tour inside the docked spacecraft so that you can read every panel.
Good job m8
Thanks!
Tremendous detail. As a kid I was always fascinated by the animations and simulations the TV networks created for the missions. Sadly those creations today are held up by contrarians as proof the moon landings never happened.
Thanks for your comment. I assume you saw all 3 parts. New video in the works with updated models with even more detail.
отличная модель!!! 👍👍👍
Спасибо, что посмотрели это тоже!!
I also have to wonder….after they said “The Eagle has landed” did Armstrong & Aldrin turn off the mics and just let out a Hoopla, “We made it!!!” Seriously.
All comms were recorded whether they were transmitted or not. You can do a search for the transcripts and or actual recordings online.
Again, amazing quality on this clip. Are the ĺegs on the landing stage of the LEM spring loaded or gas activated. Thanks for your amazing work. Regards from Ireland
I believe it is spring loaded. Regardless, the legs are held retracted by a titanium strap which is severed with a pyro charge.
非常好动画
Thankyou
[12/01/22] Beautiful work. I haven't used Blender, but I have to believe that putting this together was a lot of work. Where did you get all the information regarding the switch gear, the labeling, and all the dimensions to properly size everything in both space craft?
Thanks. There are many sites online with pictures and schematics. There is also a lot of NASA documentation online like the operating manual and systems manuals. The instrument panel diagrams are easy to find and they are also in the operating manual. The most difficult thing to get hold of were command module placards and decals. Lots of looking through pictures online. The Smithsonian also has a 3d tour inside the command module but many of the decals and placards you can not read.
I understand that only onlookers have gathered here to watch and that's it.
Wasn’t there some kind of strings hanging down from the LM feet as indicator to switch off the engines?
Yes. But they did not shut off the engines, they lit up the contact light at which time the astronauts hit the big button to kill the engine. Please see my later video of Apollo 15 where I added a whole lot more features to the LM (probes, radar, working gauges, astronauts, Mesa, Rover, etc: Here is part 1:czcams.com/video/kYHl42M2I2w/video.htmlsi=tUqMNPZVRxpdhHyV
Where did you find the radio communications from? For the final approach and landing
You can get a lot of audio and transcripts from NASA: www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a11/a11.html
Also there is another site that has all audio, pictures and video in real time: apolloinrealtime.org
Of note, there are several who have mentioned "where is the time lag in audio?" The time lag is only between cap com and the astronauts. No perceived timely between the 2 spacecraft talking to each other and no time lag when the flight control team is talking to each other. In my audio, I have also included the flight director loop, which the astronauts would no hear.
Ok keep the chatter down.
trying to watch.
that is a lot of work.
BRAVO
Thanks 👍
Please see my Apollo 15 videos on my channel
At 8:05, the wrong LM Reaction Control System (RCS) thrusters are firing. Those shown would have increased the LM roll, not stop it. It's a very minor error and otherwise, it was a pretty accurate video in my estimation.
You have a good eye….I will have to fire my quality control guy. Oh wait….that is me.
However, that is yaw and not roll.
@@opieswenson - It was so minor I almost wasn't going to mention it. Again, a very good video.
@@Booboobear-eo4es Thanks for pointing it out. I have used lots of viewer comments to make corrections in videos.
Se colocasse o Neil Armstrong pisando na lua ia ficar top !!
Eu ainda não aprendi a fazer e animar pessoas... mas está na minha lista de coisas para fazer.
@@opieswenson 👏👏
All this technical development perhaps is possible from Roswell's UFO reverse engineering, I guess!! 😮
No aliens were harmed in the making of this video
Hiii
Where are the Astronauts?
The Apollo 11 series was my first animations. Please see my Apollo 15 series. I finally learned how to do it (still learning though): czcams.com/video/kYHl42M2I2w/video.htmlsi=gEl2Rfn_zsKbMHY4

😶🙂🙂👏👏👍🌟
Thanks
Is better without stars on the sky.. is day light....
With the sun's position it is very early morning. The missions were designed to have lots of shadows so they could pick out the rocks and boulders during landing. And yes...for the most part, you and your camera would have a difficult time seeing the starts due to the very bright sunlight
When they get out the air get out! How they breath in the room?
When the astronauts depressurization the spacecraft, they are already wearing their spacesuits. When they get out, they are wearing the PLSS (portable life support system) that supplies oxygen and cooling water plus scrubs carbon dioxide. Prior to launching from the moon, they wear their spacesuits and plug the hoses into the spacecraft. Then depressurization the spacecraft for the last time to throw all the trash out including the 2 backpacks (84 lbs each earth weight)
@@opieswenson I know they wear spacesuits! How is the filled room air after depressurirzation?
@@jameswilson5230 you dump the pressure here (real photo Apollo 12): www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a16/LM11-co33.jpg.
You depressurization the cabin with this panel: www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a16/LM11-co1.jpg
@@jameswilson5230 It's filled, just like you said. From oxygen tanks onboard. I guess we're being shown the control panel for repressurization at 17:03.
Do they wear their space suits for re entry back to Earth? A most hazardous thing to do.
😢😢😢
😂😂😂😂😂😂🤔🥺🥴🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for watching!!
Nice cgi. Better than the original.
thanks!
