Apollo 11 - 16-mm magazine 1122-D

Apollo 11, 16-mm magazine 1122-D. 00:25 Coverage of the final moments of rendezvous of the ascent stage of the Lunar Module Eagle with the Command Service Module Columbia, as filmed by Collins aboard the CSM. At the start of the filming, the LM is in the lower left third, most easily identifiable by the flash of its strobe light. 03:16 Armstrong initiates a pitch down manoeuvre to face the LM docking port towards the CSM. 03:38 Armstrong carried out an unplanned yaw manoeuvre to deal with sunlight coming in his overhead window. This causes the guidance platform to go into gimbal lock and Armstrong has to use the backup guidance system to control the spacecraft’s attitude. 04:13 Earth comes into view. This video is presented at 24 frames per second, regardless of the original shooting speed. Its image has been flipped to counter the fact that it was shot into a mirror.
