Spaceflight experience: |
Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin was one
of the third group of astronauts named by NASA in October
1963.
On November 11, 1966, he and command pilot James Lovell
were launched into space in the Gemini 12 spacecraft on a
4-day flight, which brought the Gemini program to a
successful close. Aldrin established a new record for
extravehicular activity (EVA), spending 5-1/2 hours
outside the spacecraft.
He served as lunar module pilot for Apollo 11, July 16-24,
1969, the first manned lunar landing mission. Aldrin
followed Neil Armstrong onto the lunar surface on July 20,
1969, completing a 2-hour and 15 minute lunar EVA.
In July 1971, Aldrin resigned from NASA. Aldrin has logged
289 hours and 53 minutes in space, of which, 7 hours and
52 minutes were spent in EVA.
