Apollo 11 recovery and astronaut quarantine, 1969

Référence de la vidéo 12542903
Apollo 11 recovery and astronaut quarantine. Recovery helicopter and US Navy divers recovering US astronauts from the Command Module 'Columbia' for the Apollo 11 mission as it floats in the Pacific Ocean after splashdown on 24 July 1969. On board are Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins. This historic mission was the first to land astronauts on the Moon. The recovery process seen here includes the deployment of life-rafts and a winch used to provide biological isolation uniforms. A lone diver puts one of the uniforms on, opens the capsule hatch and passes in the other three uniforms. The astronauts put them on and are helped out of the capsule. Decontamination is also carried out and the other divers (waiting in a second life-raft at a safe distance) return to the capsule. This was followed by the astronauts being winched aboard a recovery helicopter and flown to the USS Hornet. There, they were placed in a Mobile Quarantine Facility (MQF), greeted by President Nixon, and then flown to Houston, Texas, and kept in quarantine for 18 days until 10 August 1969.
