∙ 13y agoThe first manned mission to the Moon was Apollo 8. It used a Saturn V launch vehicle (SA-503) and the part that actually went to the Moon was CSM-103. (The crew was in the command module CM-103 with the "rocket" part being SM-103.) The CSM was the first manned vehicle to orbit the Moon.
The first manned landing was Apollo 11, which also used a Saturn V launch vehicle (SA-506). The command module where the astronauts spent most of the trip was CM-107 (callsignColumbia) while the lander itself was LM-5 (callsign Eagle).
It may be worth mentioning Apollo 10 as well. It was the second manned mission to the Moon, designed as a test of the lander without actually landing (the lunar module did not have enough fuel to successfully land and take off again, possibly at least partially because it was suspected that had it had sufficient fuel the crew might have landed despite the mission profile: would you give up the chance to be the first person to land on the Moon?). As it was, two members of the crew got within 9 miles of the surface. SA-505 (another Saturn V class rocket) was the launch vehicle, while the command module and the lunar module were CM-106 Charlie Brown and LM-4Snoopy respectively.

∙ 13y agoThe rocket that took astronauts to the moon was called the Saturn V. The Apollo missions used the Saturn V rocket to launch astronauts to the moon and back.
The rocket that brought astronauts to the moon was called the Saturn V rocket. It was used by NASA during the Apollo program for the lunar missions.
The first rocket that successfully landed on the moon was the Apollo 11 Lunar Module named "Eagle." It carried astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin and landed on the moon on July 20, 1969.
The first rockets to send people to the moon were in December 1968 on Apollo 8. Those astronauts were not due to land on the moon, just to test if they could reach it and get back. Apollo 10 did similar work in 1969. The first to land on the moon were astronauts from Apollo 11 in July 1969.
a rocket !!
Saturn
a rocket !!
Astronauts first landed on the moon on July 20, 1969, during the Apollo 11 mission. The landing site was the Mare Tranquillitatis, also known as the Sea of Tranquility.
Astronauts travelled to the moon aboard a spacecraft called the Apollo Command Module. They landed on the moon using a lunar module, explored the surface, and then returned to the Command Module. They launched back to Earth and re-entered the atmosphere before parachuting into the ocean for recovery.

The Saturn V (Saturn five) rocket was used to launch the astronauts into space.The project was named the Apollo missions.Neil Armstrong was on Apollo 11 which was the first mission to actually land on the Moon.
well...mainly a rocket
