Last Feet to Moon

The Apollo 11 moon landing faces its riskiest phase as Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin begin final descent toward Tranquility Base at 1 07 p m PDT Sunday. They will land, collect samples, plant the flag, and begin experiments while Michael Collins orbits above in the command ship.

Apollo 11 surface camera weighs 7.28 pounds and powers two lenses

The tiny television camera used on the moon weighs 7.28 pounds and draws 6.5 watts from 24 to 82 volt DC. It operates at 10 frames per second with a 10.6 by 6.5 by 3.4 inch body and allows lens changes by a suited crewman. If engine failure traps astronauts, the two moonwalkers would have only three hours of oxygen and Collins could not assist them, returning to Earth alone.
