- Single Aerojet AJ10-137 Service Propulsion System on the Columbia service module; the existing Apollo CSM Block II integrated-system boundary is reused without changing the propulsion identity.

- Four Service Module reaction-control quad packages distributed around the service-module periphery, matching the existing Apollo CSM Block II installation.
- Name
- Apollo 11 Columbia CSM Block II propulsion
- Notes
- Apollo 11 Columbia command-and-service-module propulsion only. The Block II boundary is represented by one AJ10-137 Service Propulsion System, two Command Module reaction-control subsystems, and four Service Module reaction-control quad packages. Saturn launch-vehicle propulsion and the separate Eagle lunar-module systems remain outside this configuration.

- Variant Notes
- One integrated Lunar Module Descent Propulsion System used for Apollo 11 powered descent; the existing integrated-system identity is retained rather than inventing a mission-specific engine model.

- Stage

- Variant Notes
- One integrated Lunar Module Ascent Propulsion System used for Apollo 11 ascent-stage liftoff and rendezvous; no exact engine variant is inferred from generic evidence.
- Name
- Apollo 11 Eagle lunar-module propulsion
- Notes
- Apollo 11 Eagle lunar-module main propulsion only. NASA documents the powered descent and ascent-stage engine firing; the existing integrated Descent Propulsion System and Ascent Propulsion System identities are reused. The Lunar Module reaction-control system is intentionally omitted because no exact canonical LM-RCS dependency is present in this packet, and no new identity or engine model is inferred.
