El Águila se prepara para aterrizar: Fue hace 45 años hoy que Neil Armstrong

 
 El Águila se prepara para aterrizar: Fue hace 45 años hoy que Neil Armstrong dio el pequeño paso sobre la superficie de la luna que cambió el curso de la historia. Los años que siguieron fueron de una era espacial de la investigación científica, tecnológica y humana, en la que hemos construido la era moderna. Nos encontramos en un nuevo horizonte, a punto de dar el siguiente gran salto-más profundamente en el sistema solar. Las misiones Apolo ardieron un camino para la exploración humana de la Luna y en la actualidad estamos ampliando ese camino a los asteroides cercanos a la Tierra, Marte y más allá.

Esta imagen es del 11 del módulo lunar Águila Apolo en una configuración de aterrizaje y fue fotografiada en la órbita lunar del comando y de servicio del módulo Columbia. Dentro del módulo eran comandante Neil A. Armstrong y piloto del módulo lunar Buzz Aldrin. Las largas protuberancias similares a barras bajo las vainas de aterrizaje son sondas de detección de la superficie lunar. Al entrar en contacto con la superficie lunar, las sondas envían una señal a la tripulación para apagar el motor de descenso.

The years that followed saw a Space Age of scientific, technological and human research, on which we have built the modern era. We stand on a new horizon, poised to take the next giant leap-deeper into the solar system. The Apollo missions blazed a path for human exploration to the moon and today we are extending that path to near-Earth asteroids, Mars and beyond.

This image is of the Apollo 11 Lunar Module Eagle in a landing configuration and was photographed in lunar orbit from the Command and Service Module Columbia. Inside the module were Commander Neil A. Armstrong and Lunar Module Pilot Buzz Aldrin. The long rod-like protrusions under the landing pods are lunar surface sensing probes. Upon contact with the lunar surface, the probes sent a signal to the crew to shut down the descent engine.
