The United Federation of Planets Starfleet later honored Armstrong by naming several vessels after him, as well as a starship class. A large lake created on the surface of Luna which was visible from Earth was named Lake Armstrong in honor of Armstrong. (TNG movie: Star Trek: First Contact; TTN novel: Taking Wing)
