Whereabouts on the moon did the Americans land?

Question

I'd appreciate some fairly precise details such as the name of the sea - thanks

Answer 1

There were six manned landings on the Moon, as follows:

Apollo 11: July 16 - 24, 1969
Commander Neil Armstrong and Lunar Module Pilot Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin landed in “Eagle”. Command Module Pilot Michael Collins stayed orbiting the Moon in “Columbia”.
The landing was in the Mare Tranquilitatis, the Sea of Tranquility, at 0° 40' 26.69" N, 23° 28' 22.69" E (0.67408 N,23.47297 E)

Apollo 12: November 14 - 24, 1969
Charles “Pete” Conrad and Alan Bean landed in “Intrepid”, whilst Richard Gordon orbited in “Yankee Clipper”.
The landing was in Oceanus Procellarum, the Ocean of Storms, at 3° 0' 44.60" S - 23° 25' 17.65" W (3.01239 S - 23.42157 W)

Apollo 13 did not land.

Apollo 14: January 31 - February 9, 1971
Alan Shepard and Edgar Mitchell landed in “Antares”; Stuart Roosa stayed in “Kitty Hawk”.
The landing was near the Fra Mauro crater, at 3° 38' 43.08" S, 17° 28' 16.90" W (3.64530 S, 17.47136 W)

Apollo 15: July 26 - August 7, 1971
David Scott and James Irwin landed in “Falcon”; Al Worden stayed in “Endeavour”.
The landing was next to Hadley Rille, at 26° 7' 55.99" N, 3° 38' 1.90" E (26.13222 N, 3.63386 E)

Apollo 16: April 16 - 27, 1972
John Young and Charles Duke landed in “Orion”; Ken Mattingly stayed in “Caspar”.
The landing was in the Descartes highlands, at 8° 58' 22.84" S, 15° 30' 0.68" E (8.97301 S 15.50019 E)

Apollo 17: December 7 - 19, 1972
Eugene Cernan and Harrison “Jack” Schmitt landed in “Challenger”; Ron Evans stayed in “America”.
The landing was in the Taurus-Littrow valley, at 20° 11' 26.88" N, 30° 46' 18.05" E (20.19080 N 30.77168 E)

The locations can be seen using Google Moon at http://moon.google.com/
Unfortunately, not even the Hubble Space Telescope has the resolution to see the Lunar Module descent stages that were left behind, but a future unmanned orbiter will.

Answer 2

there have been six moon landings, and we left a good number of stuff up there, such as a nevertheless-operating signal beacon that is suggested from Los Alamos to on the present time. So yeah, inspite of all those nifty YouTube conspiracy nuts' video clips that finally end up in our inboxes, we easily landed on the moon. how a lot of those 27% even understand what number moon landings there have been?

Answer 3

Ahh! but did they land?
Some scientists say, there was not enough 'so called science' too make such a trip!
Then there is the woman in Australia way back then, stayed up all night!...and as she watched it on t.v... she saw, a 'Coke' bottle!!! in the picture on the ground.She phoned someone...and that part of tape...was changed!!! funny about that.
They found her to be a very honest sober middle age woman...with no REASON!...to cause any trouble-to-this subjest.
She says''she knows what! she saw''..........so then we have the hair lines of the camera....also in question....Plus people who will stake their jobs, it was not true!
To me, after 911....nothing seems real anymore?...and the truth, well thats something I can't find ?
Do some homework.....you may find, truth is a bitter pill to swallow.......

Answer 4

Several spots, but mostly in what we would call the "Seas" of the facing side of the moon.

The proposed moonbase would be at the pole (north or south).

Remember to zoom in very close on the moon, Google apparently has a sense of humor.

Answer 5

Mare Tranquilatum or Sea of Tranquility.

Answer 6

There's a map of the moon at this website that pinpoints all of the Apollo moon landing sites ==>http://moon.google.com/

Answer 7

Answer 8

Somewhere in Arizona

Answer 9
