Jim Lovell and Fred Haise were scheduled to walk on the Moon during the Apollo 13 mission, but the lunar landing was aborted following an explosion in the spacecraft service module en route to the Moon. Haise was again scheduled to walk on the Moon as commander of Apollo 19, but Apollo 18 and Apollo 19 were canceled on September 2, 1970. How do Moon phases work? We explain what happens and show how the Moon’s shape and moonrise times change over a lunar month. How Do Moon Phases Work? One thruster failed to ignite during mid-course correction manoeuvre, resulting in loss of control. [38] Impacted the Moon at 03:18 UTC on 23 September 1966. [45] Waxing Crescent: In the Northern Hemisphere, we see the waxing crescent phase as a thin crescent of light on the right.

After the harvest moon comes the hunter's moon, in the preferred month to hunt summer-fattened deer and fox unable to hide in bare fields. Like the harvest moon, the hunter's moon is also particularly bright and long in the sky, giving hunters the opportunity to stalk prey at night. Other names include the travel moon and the dying grass moon. November: Beaver MoonThere are 95 known moons of Jupiter, as of 1 November 2023. Jupiter has the largest number of moons of any planet in the Solar System. [1] [2] [3] Between 1968 and 1972, crewed missions to the Moon were conducted by the United States as part of the Apollo program. Apollo 8 was the first crewed mission to enter orbit in December 1968, and it was followed by Apollo 10 in May 1969. Six missions landed humans on the Moon, beginning with Apollo 11 in July 1969, during which Neil Armstrong became the first person to walk on the Moon. Apollo 13 was intended to land; however, it was restricted to a flyby due to a malfunction aboard the spacecraft. All nine crewed missions returned safely to the Earth. Technology demonstration for planned crewed missions. Failed to orbit after one of the four second-stage engines shut down prematurely. Third-stage engine also shut down prematurely. The spacecraft was recovered using its launch escape system. [66] Pioneer 4". US National Space Science Data Center. Archived from the original on 23 February 2017 . Retrieved 3 December 2013. Thomas P. Stafford – Second-seat veteran of Gemini 6A and commander of Gemini 9A, commanded a lunar orbital test of the Lunar Module on Apollo 10. He also commanded the Apollo–Soyuz Test Project mission.

Entered orbit at 21:54 UTC on 8 February 1967. Deorbited at end of mission and impacted the Moon on 9 October 1967. [49]Failed to orbit, exploded 68 seconds after launch, at an altitude of 12.2 kilometres (7.6mi). Second stage ignited while first stage was still attached and burning. [17] [15] Made two flybys on 1 December 1994 and 27 December 1994 to reach the Earth–Sun L1 Lagrangian point. a b c Siddiqi, Asif A. (2002). "1963" (PDF).

Luna 20 soft landed on the Moon in a mountainous area known as the Terra Apollonius (or Apollonius highlands) near Mare Fecunditatis (Sea of Fertility), 120km from where Luna 16 had landed. On the last of their three Apollo 17 extravehicular activities (EVAs), Harrison Schmitt stepped out of the Apollo lunar module onto the surface of the Moon after Gene Cernan, and is therefore the 12th and most recent person to have stepped out onto the Moon. When they re-entered the lunar module Cernan stepped in last, and is therefore (at present) the last person to have walked on the Moon. First crewed mission to the Moon; entered orbit around the Moon with four-minute burn beginning at 09:59:52 UTC on 24 December. Completed ten orbits of the Moon before returning to Earth with an engine burn at 06:10:16 UTC on 25 December. Landed in the Pacific Ocean at 15:51 UTC on 27 December. [65] Failed to orbit; power failure caused by broken connection resulted in premature third-stage cutoff. [25] Intended to land on the Moon and return lunar soil sample. Did not reach Earth orbit after fourth stage failed to ignite. [66]Ranger 7". US National Space Science Data Center. Archived from the original on 20 July 2019 . Retrieved 3 December 2013.
