Which space mission resulted in the first successful Moon landing?

The first successful Moon landing was accomplished during the Apollo 11 mission. On July 20, 1969, astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin descended to the lunar surface in the Lunar Module, named "Eagle," while Michael Collins orbited above in the Command Module. Armstrong became the first human to set foot on the Moon, followed by Aldrin. Their successful landing marked a significant achievement in human space exploration and fulfilled the goal set by President John F. Kennedy in 1961 to land a man on the Moon and return him safely to Earth.

Other missions listed did not achieve a manned lunar landing. Apollo 8 was the first mission to orbit the Moon but did not land; Apollo 13 famously had a critical in-flight emergency that prevented a lunar landing; and Apollo 15 did land on the Moon but came later, in 1971, after Apollo 11. Therefore, the success of Apollo 11 in landing on the Moon is recognized as a historic milestone in space exploration.
