Two astronauts descended to the lunar surface in the lunar module, while the third astronaut orbited the moon alone in the command module.
Each Apollo crew had three astronauts: a Commander, a Command Module Pilot (CMP) and a Lunar Module Pilot (LMP). The Commander and the LMP walked on the Moon while the CMP stayed in the orbiting Apollo Command/Service-Module.
Mission: Commander - LMP
- 11 Neil Armstrong - Buzz Aldrin
- 12 Charles Conrad - Alan Bean
- 14 Alan Shepard - Edgar Mitchell
- 15 David Scott - James Irwin
- 16 John Young - Charles Duke
- 17 Gene Cernan - Harrison Schmitt
