The Apollo program of the United States includes 1 1 manned missions, from Apollo 7 to Apollo 17, all launched from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Apollo 4 to Apollo 6 are unmanned test flights (there are no Apollo 2 and Apollo 3 officially).
Apollo 1 spacecraft
1967 65438+1October 27th. Astronauts wilkie Gleason, edward white and roger chaffee were killed in a fire that night. At that time, the fire swallowed up their Apollo 1 spacecraft. It was originally planned to launch the spacecraft on February 2 1 day, and put them into Earth orbit 14 days. They died on the ground during the simulation exercise of this launch.
The first manned space flight of Apollo 7 spacecraft (1968.10.11)
After many unmanned earth orbit flights, Apollo 7 finally carried three astronauts around the earth on board 1968 10 1. The mission of spacecraft 7 is to test the docking system of the lunar module.
Apollo 8 spacecraft is the first man-made spacecraft to reach the moon (1968+02+0).
Apollo 8 took the first step of manned lunar exploration. The apollo 8 team, composed of Frank Borman, James Lovell and William Anders, took off on February 26th, 20438+0 on the Saturn 5 rocket, which went from orbiting the earth to orbiting the moon. On February 2 1 day, members of the apollo 8 spacecraft flew from the Earth to the moon. The mission is to test the performance of the Apollo command module system between Earth and Moon orbits and around the Moon, including communication, tracking and life support. Evaluate the performance of astronauts in the mission around the moon.
The first flight of Apollo 9 manned lunar module in earth orbit (1969.3.3)
Apollo 9 flew around the earth for a long time and further inspected the lunar module. The task is to test the human reaction and weightlessness in the space environment.
Apollo 10 flew into the orbit around the moon and lowered the lunar module to within 15 km from the lunar surface to test its performance.
Apollo/KOOC-0//KOOC-0/spaceship is a big step for mankind (/KOOC-0/969.7./KOOC-0/6-24)/KOOC-0/969. In July, Apollo 1 1 finally landed on the moon, which brought the gradual Apollo moon landing program to a climax and Armstrong also landed on the moon. In addition, the study of moon rocks and dust brought back also played a great role.
Apollo 12- 17 spacecraft
Apollo 12- 17 spacecraft from 1969 1 1 to 12 February, the United States launched Apollo12 and 13. Except for "Apollo13" (three astronauts returned to the ground safely in a spaceship), all * * * 12 astronauts successfully landed on the moon.
