Apollo landing sites

The Apollo landing sites are specific locations on the Moon where NASA's Apollo missions touched down. There were six successful landings between 1969 and 1972, each chosen for scientific value and safety. These sites are spread across different lunar terrains, providing diverse scientific insights. Notable sites include Tranquility Base (Apollo 11), where humans first walked on the Moon, and the larger craters explored by Apollo 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17. Studying these sites helps scientists understand lunar geology, history, and the Moon’s surface processes, while also testing technology and human capabilities for future exploration.
