This series provides monthly progress reports on the lead up to and execution of the Apollo 11 Moon landing that took place in July 1969.

Each month we will summarise the key activities and missions flown in that month 50 years ago between September 1968 and July 1969. This will culminate at our July 2019 meeting, commemorating the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11.
