Best Answer

AS-204 was to be the first manned flight of a command and service module (CSM) to Earth orbit, launched on a Saturn 1B. CM-012, the Apollo 1 command module, was a Block I design built for spaceflight but never intended for a trip to the moon since it lacked the needed docking equipment.

Apollo 1 was never designed to land on the Moon. It was designed to only enter Earths orbit as a test of the process. A fire in the command module concluded the mission.

it never landed. The first 10 Apollo were test flights. Apollo 1 had a fire.

What year did the three astronauts land on the moon?

Three astronauts never landed on the Moon at the same time, 2 landed on the Moon and 1 stayed in the spaceship. Also, what mission are you talking about- Apollo 11, 12,* 14, 15, 16, or 17? If you mean Apollo 11 then its 1969. *Apollo 13 never made it to the moon.


Did Apollo 7 land on the moon?

Apollo 7 never landed on the moon. It never left Earth orbit for that matter. Apollo 7's mission was to test the new command module and service module in space. Apollo 7 was the first mission to be manned after the Apollo 1 fire. Apollo 7 didn't even carry a lunar module that would have been needed to land on the moon. And because it didn't have to leave low earth orbit, a smaller and cheaper rocket -- the Saturn IB -- was used to launch Apollo 7 instead of the bigger and better known Saturn V.


What missions have not reached the moon?

Apollo 13, Apollo 1, Apollo 8, Apollo 10 and maybe some other ones. But missions Apollo 8 and Apollo 10 weren't planned to go to the moon. They were just preparing for Apollo 11.


Was Apollo 13 successful in its purpose?

Well, it kept its crew alive... job 1! But it did not land them on the Moon, so I wouldn't call the trip successful.


Where was the Apollo 1 going to land?

Apollo 1 was not actually scheduled to even travel to the moon, let alone land. Had the mission actually gone off, it would have fulfilled essentially the same mission later accomplished my Apollo 7 (the first manned mission using Apollo equipment). Apollo 7 was an 11-day Earth-orbital mission, the first manned launch of the Saturn IB launch vehicle, and the first three-person US space mission. This would have been the mission of Apollo 1.


Why can't the Apollo lander land on the Earth?

The Apollo Lunar Lander can not land on the Earth, as it is designed to land on the Moon where the gravity is only 1/6 as powerful. Also, the Lunar Lander would burn up upon entering the Earth's atmosphere. Unlike the Command Module, it had no thermal protection.


Why are the Apollo spacecrafts called Apollo?

Apollo was the name of the project that was attempting to get men to the moon. The program was named after the Greek god of light and music by NASA manager Abe Silverstein. There were various parts of the mission, starting with basic tests of the components that would be used, such as the modules and the rockets. Some of the missions sent unmanned rockets into space. The first mission was Apollo 1, then Apollo 2 and so on. Apollo 7 was the first of the Apollo missions to take men into space. Apollo 11 was the first one to land on the moon. Apollo 17 was the last Apollo mission.
