Title
"Eagle" In Lunar Orbit
Full Description
The Apollo 11 Lunar Module (LM) "Eagle", in a landing configuration is
photographed in lunar orbit from the Command and Service Modules (CSM)
"Columbia".
Inside the LM were Commander, Neil A. Armstrong, and Lunar Module Pilot Edwin E.
"Buzz" Aldrin Jr. The long "rod-like" protrusions under the landing pods are
lunar surface sensing probes. Upon contact with the lunar surface, the probes
send a signal to the crew to shut down the descent engine.
