Eagle rendezvoused with Columbia at 21:24 UTC on July 21, and the two docked at 21:35. Eagle's ascent stage was jettisoned into lunar orbit at 23:41
Just before the Apollo 12 flight, it was noted that Eagle was still likely to be orbiting the Moon. Later NASA reports mentioned that Eagle's orbit had decayed, resulting in it impacting in an "uncertain location" on the lunar surface.
Aldrin shoveled 6 kilograms (13 lb) of soil into the box of rocks in order to pack them in tightly.
Two types of rocks were found in the geological samples: basalt and breccia.
Three new minerals were discovered in the rock samples collected by the astronauts: armalcolite, tranquillityite, and pyroxferroite.
Armalcolite was named after Armstrong, Aldrin, and Collins. All have subsequently been found on Earth
MLIFE DAILY
After Apollo 11 returned from the Moon they were picked up by the USS Hornet, and that's where Neil Armstrong took his first steps back on Earth. Today this ship is a floating museum in Alameda full of exhibits covering it's various roles in wartime and peace, it's a pretty cool place for fans of history
SPLASHDOWN
The rescue team had been deployed to be at the ready in the Pacific ocean on July 12th, before Saturn V had even launched. However it was identified that a storm would be due to hit the planned recovery area which would damage the parachutes and potentially risk the lives of the crew. NASA were advised and so a Plan B recovery area was used instead.
Four Sea King helicopters and three Grumman E-1 tracers were deployed before dawn on July 24th. They carried divers, recovery equipment, photographic equipment and the decontamination swimmer and flight surgeon.
Columbia made a successful splashdown on July 24th, albeit upside down. The crew activated flotation devices which righted the aircraft. The recovery team were the first to welcome the three crew back to Earth.
QUARANTINE
NASA was extremely cautious about the possibility of the astronauts bringing back lunar pathogens to Earth, so the equipment and astronauts were required to spend three weeks in quarantine. They were examined and declared healthy after their trip, then released from quarantine on August 10th 1969.
