Designation | Date | Crew | Summary |
---|---|---|---|
AS-201 | Feb. 26, 1966 | None | First unmanned flight of Saturn IB and Block I CSM; suborbital to Atlantic ocean; qualified heat shield to orbital reentry speed |
AS-203 | July 5, 1966 | None | No spacecraft; unmanned observations of liquid hydrogen fuel behavior in orbit, to support design of S-IVB restart capability |
AS-202 | Aug. 25, 1966 | None | Unmanned suborbital flight of CSM to Pacific ocean. |
Apollo 4 | Nov. 9, 1967 | None | First unmanned test flight of Saturn V, placed a CSM in a high Earth orbit; demonstrated S-IVB restart; qualified CM heat shield to lunar reentry speed |
Apollo 5 | Jan. 22–23, 1968 | None | First unmanned, Earth orbital flight test of LM, launched on Saturn IB; demonstrated ascent and descent propulsion; man-rated the LM |
Apollo 6 | April 4, 1968 | None | Unmanned, attempted demonstration of trans-lunar injection and direct-return abort with SM engine; three engine failures prevented S-IVB restart. Flight controllers used SM engine to repeat Apollo 4's flight profile. Man-rated the Saturn V. |
Apollo 7 | Oct. 11–22, 1968 | Wally Schirra Walt Cunningham Donn Eisele |
First manned Earth orbital demonstration of Block II CSM, launched on Saturn IB. First live television publicly broadcast from a manned mission |
Apollo 8 | Dec. 21–27, 1968 | Frank Borman James Lovell William Anders |
First manned flight to Moon; CSM made 10 lunar orbits in 20 hours. |
Apollo 9 | Mar. 3–13, 1969 | James McDivitt David Scott Russell Schweickart |
First manned flight of CSM and LM in Earth orbit; demonstrated Portable Life Support System to be used on the lunar surface |
Apollo 10 | May 18–26, 1969 | Thomas Stafford John Young Eugene Cernan |
Dress rehearsal for first lunar landing; flew LM down to 50,000 feet (15 km) from lunar surface |
Apollo 11 | July 16–24, 1969 | Neil Armstrong Michael Collins Buzz Aldrin |
First manned landing, in Sea of Tranquility. Surface EVA time: 2:31 hr. Samples returned: 47.7 pounds (21.6 kg)[67] |
Apollo 12 | Nov. 14–24, 1969 | C. Peter Conrad Richard Gordon Alan Bean |

Apollo 13 | April 11–17, 1970 | James Lovell Jack Swigert Fred Haise |
Third landing attempt aborted near the Moon, due to SM failure. Crew used LM as "life boat" to return to Earth. |
Apollo 14 | Jan. 31–Feb. 9, 1971 | Alan Shepard Stuart Roosa Edgar Mitchell |
Third landing, in Fra Mauro. Surface EVA time: 9:21 hr. Samples returned: 94.4 pounds (42.8 kg).[67] |
Apollo 15 | July 26–Aug. 7, 1971 | David Scott Alfred Worden James Irwin |
First Extended LM and rover, landed in Hadley-Apennine. Surface EVA time:18:33 hr. Samples returned: 169 pounds (77 kg).[67] |
Apollo 16 | April 16–27, 1972 | John Young T. Kenneth Mattingly Charles Duke |
Landed in Plain of Descartes. Surface EVA time: 20:14 hr. Samples returned: 208.3 pounds (94.5 kg).[67] |
Apollo 17 | Dec. 7–19, 1972 | Eugene Cernan Ronald Evans Harrison Schmitt |
Landed in Taurus-Littrow. First geologist on the Moon. Final manned Moon landing. Surface EVA time: 22:02 hr. Samples returned: 243.1 pounds (110.3 kg).[67] |
