            “APOLLO 11 MISSION PROFILE – The moon’s orbit around the earth during the Apollo 11 mission is shown here. The moon’s position at lift-off (bottom), during flight (middle) and its position at splashdown (top) are at right. Key steps during the mission are  (1) lift-off, (2) earth orbit checkout; (3) injection on path to the moon; (4) turnaround and docking; (5) course correction; (6) retro firing for lunar orbit; (7) elliptical lunar orbit; (8) lunar module separation; (9) moon landing; (10) ascent docking; (11) ascent stage is left in orbit; (12) injection on homeward trip; (13) course correction; (14) service module jettisoned and (15) chutes lower capsule for splashdown July 24 in the Pacific ocean.”

Since this photograph was reproduced for press purposes, the milestones numbers for (1) lift-off, (9) lunar landing & (15) splashdown are precisely physically affixed to the photograph. Although I’m sure they’re incorporated into the image, the likely inadequate contrast required the higher contrast provided by the affixed numbers.
