Artist's rendering of Launch and Translunar Injection
Launch and Translunar Injection: On launch day at Complex 39A, Kennedy Space Center, Fla., the astronauts enter the spacecraft. After launch and Saturn V first-stage burnout and jettison, the S-II second stage ignites. The crew checks spacecraft systems in Earth orbit before the S-IVB third stage ignites the second time to send Apollo 11 to the Moon. (Source: KSC)
