Although the culmination of the Apollo program was, in the public’s mind, the Apollo 11 mission, which saw humans set foot on the Moon in July 1969, the Apollo program actually consisted of many missions both before and after Apollo 11.
Each of these missions had its own scientific objectives, successes, challenges, and history.
Photography, omnipresent throughout this space epic, immortalized its greatest moments for the memory of humanity.
