Propellant Transfer
Conceptual view of the operations in the equatorial earth orbit. The operation in orbit is principally one of propellant transfer and it not an assembly job. The vehicle being fueled is the third stage of a SATURN II with a lunar landing and return vehicle attached. The third stage of the SATURN II was used in the combination into orbit and has thus expended its propellants. This stage is fueled into orbit by a detachment of approximately ten men after which the vehicle then proceeds on the moon.

S69-38662 (July 1969) — A Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation’s artist concept depicting mankind’s first walk on another celestial body. Here astronaut Neil A. Armstrong, Apollo 11 commander, is making his first step onto the surface of the Moon. Armstrong has just egressed Lunar Module (LM) 5. Still inside the LM is astronaut Edwin E. Aldrin Jr., lunar module pilot. Astronaut Michael Collins, command module pilot, remains with the Command and Service Modules (CSM) in lunar orbit.
