List of records for Apollo 11
Sigurd A. Sjoberg, MSC Deputy Director of Flight Operations, informed MSC management of a list of records that could be set in the Apollo 11 flight.
Plans were made to file claims with the Fdration Aronautique Internationale for:
Class records for lunar missions
- Duration of stay on the surface of the moon.
- Duration of stay inside the spacecraft on the surface of the moon.
- Duration of stay outside the spacecraft on the surface of the moon.
- Greatest mass landed on the moon.
- Greatest mass lifted to lunar orbit from the surface of the moon.
- Duration of stay in lunar orbit (The Apollo 10 record would be broken if the optional sleep period after rendezvous and before transearth injection were included.)
Absolute world record
- EVA record-duration of stay outside spacecraft.
