Apollo 11 was a Human spacecraft in operation in the 20th century. The vessel was the first manned craft to land on Luna. The mission took place in July of 1969, with a crew of three: Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins.
The lunar landing took place on July 20, 1969, at Tranquility Base. (TOS: "Tomorrow is Yesterday")
- The reference to Apollo 11 in "Tomorrow is Yesterday" is an oblique one - a radio report referring to the launch of the first moon landing mission on "Wednesday". Despite being written over two years prior, the reference coincidentally gives the same launch day as actually occurred, with the launch time only off by seven hours.
In the year 2000, Shannon O'Donnell had a model of the Apollo Lunar Module suspended from the rear-view mirror of her Ford LTD Country Squire. (VOY: "11:59")
When James T. Kirk argued in favor of having Sargon and his companions take over the bodies of the crew, in 2269, and emphasized the benefits that it might possibly have on mankind, he explained, "they used to say if man could fly, he'd have wings. But he did fly. He discovered he had to. Do you wish that the first Apollo mission hadn't reached the moon or that we hadn't gone on to Mars or the nearest star?" (TOS: "Return to Tomorrow")
A certificate was awarded to Cadet Harry Kim in 2369 while he was still at Starfleet Academy, related to the Apollo 11 quadricentennial. When temporarily given command of Medical Transport 136 (AKA: Nightingale) he felt this award was important enough to be one of the few things he brought along for his ready room, including his saxophone and his Academy diploma. (VOY: "Nightingale")
In an alternate timeline where Harry hadn't been assigned to Voyager, he also had the certificate in his office at Starfleet Command in 2372 along with his diploma. (VOY: "Non Sequitur")
In 2375, a crewman was researching the Apollo 11 mission in the USS Enterprise-E's library. (Star Trek: Insurrection)
