- Lunar Orbiter 2's frames 2081, 2082, and 2083 show Sabine E (Armstrong) near their upper right corners.
- The southern 3/4ths of Armstrong were captured on Lunar Orbiter 1's frames 1085, 1086, and 1087 (Armstrong is the large bowl-shaped crater near the upper margins of the three frames).
- Apollo 10's Hasselblad frame AS10-31-4536 shows an "upside-down" view of Armstrong (bottom of photograph) and Moltke (upper right corner). AS10-31-4537 shows Armstrong (bottom left), Collins (bottom right) and Moltke (the bright crater).

Nomenclature
- Named for Neil Alden Armstrong (August 5, 1930 - August 25, 2012). Neil A. Armstrong was an American astronaut, test pilot, university professor, and naval aviator. He was the very first person to have set foot on an extraterrestrial world (The Moon). His first spaceflight was Gemini 8 in 1966, for which he was the command pilot. On this mission, he performed the first manned docking of two spacecraft together with pilot David Scott. Armstrong's second and last spaceflight was as commander of the Apollo 11 moon landing mission on July 20, 1969. On this famous "Giant Leap for Mankind ", Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin descended to the lunar surface ("The Eagle has landed") and spent 2.5 hours exploring while Michael Collins orbited above.
- Armstrong (surname)
- This replacement name for a formerly lettered crater was among the list of 12 names of living astronauts and cosmonauts (six each) approved by the IAU in 1970 and published in Menzel, 1971.
