Apollo 11 was a Human spacecraft in operation in the 20th century, that was the first in the Apollo series to successfully land a man on the moon. The mission took place in July of 1969, with a crew of three: Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins. It was launched atop a Saturn V rocket from Cape Kennedy.
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.
The Apollo 11 moon landing was shown on TV, a broadcast that the "whole world" had watched. Shannon O'Donnell was eleven years old at the time, and later recalled watching the moon landing on TV, and would also have dreams recalling Armstrong's famous words: "One small step for man." In 2000, O'Donnell shared her moon landing experience with Jason Janeway, who himself had seen it once in science class. (VOY: "11:59")

In 2143, a mission insignia for Apollo 11 was displayed along with other NASA mission insignias in the 602 Club. (ENT: "First Flight")
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 USS 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)
