List of Apollo missions

List of Apollo missions

The Apollo missions were a series of space missions, both manned and unmanned, flown by NASA between 1961 and 1975. They culminated with a series of manned moon landings between 1969 and 1972.

Launch vehicles

The Apollo program used four types of launch vehicles:
*Little Joe II - unmanned suborbital launch escape system development.
*Saturn I - unmanned suborbital and orbital hardware development.
*Saturn IB - unmanned and manned earth orbit development and operational missions.
*Saturn V - unmanned and manned earth orbit and lunar missions.

The Marshall Space Flight Center, which designed the Saturn rockets, referred to the flights as Saturn-Apollo (SA), while Kennedy Space Center referred to the flights as Apollo-Saturn (AS). This is why the unmanned Saturn 1 flights are referred to as SA and the unmanned Saturn 1B are referred to as AS. Dates given below are dates of launch.
