The Eagle Prepares to Land
The Apollo 11 Lunar Module Eagle, in a landing configuration 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.
