Neil Armstrong or Buzz AldrinThe area of lunar surface including the Sea of Tranquillity which would soon become the landing site for the 'Eagle', as seen from orbit and prior to the undocking and descent of the Lunar Module 20 July 1969Vintage gelatin silver print on fibre-based Kodak paper, 25.5 x 20.3 cm (10 x 8 in), BLACK NUMBERED AS11-37-5437, on A KODAK PAPER watermarked stock, NASA MSC caption mimeographed on verso Footnotes:The photograph was taken at the start of the lunar day which is why the upper portion of the surface is still dark. The landing site is located just right of centre at the edge of the darkness. The crater Maskelyne is prominent at the lower right. The shadow seen on the surface is that of the spacecraft's thruster.On 8 February 1968, NASA's Apollo Site Selection Board announced five potential landing sites. These prospective sites were the product of two years of study of high-resolution photography. The landing site needed to be close to the lunar equator to minimize the amount of propellant required, clear of obstacles to keep complex manoeuvring to a minimum, and flat to simplify the actual process of landing. The initial requirement that the site be free of craters had to be relaxed, as this proved impossible.
