*maSDaq SaqmeH Qu' wa'DIch HochHom turlu'taHvIS
*/while most of the first moon-landing mission was being carried out/

This is a single /while/ clause.

*X turlu'taHvIS*
/while one does X/

The X is a noun phrase, *maSDaq SaqmeH Qu' wa'DIch HochHom* /most of the 
first mission-to-land-on-the-moon./

A *SaqmeH Qu'* is a /landing mission,/ a /mission for landing./ Remember 
that purposes clauses can be attached to nouns that are not the subject 
of that clause. *Qu'* is not the subject of *SaqmeH.*

If that mission happens at the moon, it is a *maSDaq SaqmeH Qu'*/landing 
mission on the moon./ The locative is added to the verb as usual. The 
fact that this verb is part of a dependent clause is irrelevant.

It's the first moon-landing mission, *maSDaq SaqmeH Qu' wa'DIch.*

We're only talking about /most/ of the mission: *maSDaq SaqmeH Qu' 
wa'DIch HochHom.*
