As the agency explores more of the Moon than ever before under the Artemis campaign, NASA will celebrate the 55th anniversary of the first astronauts landing on the Moon through a variety of in-person, virtual, and engagement activities nationwide between Monday, July 15, and Thursday, July 25.<\/p>\n

Events will honor America\u2019s vision and technology that enabled the Apollo 11 crewed lunar landing<\/a> on July 20, 1969, as well as Apollo-era inventions and techniques that spread into public life, many of which are still in use today. Activities also will highlight NASA\u2019s Artemis campaign<\/a>, which includes landing the first woman, first person of color, and first international astronaut on the Moon, inspiring great achievements, exploration, and scientific discovery for the benefit of all.<\/p>\n

NASA\u2019s subject matter experts are available for a limited number of interviews about the anniversary. To request an interview virtually or in person, contact Jessica Taveau in the newsroom: jessica.c.taveau@nasa.gov<\/a>. <\/a><\/p>\n

During the week of July 15, the agency also will share the iconic bootprint image<\/a> and the significance of Apollo 11 to NASA\u2019s mission, as well as use the #Apollo11 hashtag, across its digital platforms online.<\/p>\n
