'''Lunar Module ''Eagle''''' ('''LM-5''') is the spacecraft that served as the crewed [[lunar lander]] of [[Apollo 11]], which was the first mission to [[Moon landing|land humans]] on the [[Moon]]. It was named after the [[bald eagle]], which was featured prominently on [[:File:Apollo 11 insignia.png|the mission insignia]]. It flew from Earth to lunar orbit on the [[command module Columbia|command module ''Columbia'']], and then was flown to the Moon on July 20, 1969, by astronaut [[Neil Armstrong]] with navigational assistance from [[Buzz Aldrin]]. ''Eagle''{{'}}s landing created [[Tranquility Base]], named by Armstrong and Aldrin and first announced upon the module's touchdown.
 
The name of the craft gave rise to the phrase "The Eagle has Landed", the words Armstrong said upon ''Eagle''{{'}}s touchdown.<ref name="Cresswell 2007 p. 427">{{cite book | last=Cresswell | first=J. | title=The Cat's Pyjamas: The Penguin Book of Clichés | publisher=Penguin Books Limited | year=2007 | isbn=978-0-14-102516-2 | url=https://books.google.co.ukcom/books?id=vaB3KEhlUcEC&pg=PT427 | access-date=2021-10-22 | page=427}}</ref>
