Apollo 11 (Eagle)

  1969-059C

---

The first spacecraft to carry humans to a landing on another world was Lunar Module 5, the spaceship Eagle.

On 1969 Jul 20, Eagle landed at Tranquility Base, 00 41 15 N, 23 26 00 E, later given the official astronomical name Statio Tranquillitatis, in the Mare Tranquillitatis, Luna.

During the descent, computer program alarms occupied the crew, preventing them from noticing the rough terrain the automated descent was leading them towards. Armstrong took over manual control with three and a half minutes of fuel left, and flew Eagle around until he found a safe spot, landing with only 45 seconds of fuel left and 25 seconds from the abort decision point.

Kosmos 2414

 2005-002A

---

Parus satellite launched in early 2005. The satellite was launched using a Kosmos-3M with a special fairing designed for the SAR-Lupe satellites. This flight qualified the fairing, which has bulges on the side to contain the SAR-Lupe antenna; the heavier fairing meant Parus was targeted at a lower orbit than usual.
