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.

What was supposed to be Apollo 1's landing location on the moon?

Apollo 1 was a mission aimed at orbiting the Earth and testing the Command and Service Module. It was not intended to land on the moon. The Apollo program's goal was to land astronauts on the moon and bring them safely back to Earth.


When did Apollo 1 land on the moon?

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


Did apallo 1 really land on the moon?

No, Apollo 1 did not land on the moon. It was the first crewed mission in the Apollo program, but a cabin fire during a pre-launch test in 1967 tragically resulted in the loss of all three astronauts on board - Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee. The successful moon landing missions were carried out by subsequent Apollo missions.


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.


Why did Apollo eleven explode?

Apollo 11 did not explode. Apollo 13 had an explosion on board in an oxygen tank. The first Apollo mission, Apollo 1, had a fire when on the launchpad which killed 3 astronauts.

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.

How many manned space missions did not make it?

The only Apollo missions that were designed to go to the moon were Apollo 8,10,11,12,13,14,15,16and 17. The others were test missions or missions within earth's own orbit. They all reached the moon without exception. Apollo 8 and 10 were designed to reach the moon, but not to land. Instead their mission was to test equipment and to search out possible landing sites. They were successful in this. Apollo 13 was designed to land on the moon, but because of an explosion on board, was unable to land. Instead it reached the moon and used the moon's gravity to perform a 'slingshot' manoever and return to earth in an emergency rescue. The rest of the Apollo missions (11,12,14,15,16,17) all landed on the moon as planned.


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.


Gus Grissom was supposed to be the first man on the moon?

No, Gus Grissom was not supposed to be the first man on the moon. Neil Armstrong became the first person to walk on the moon during the Apollo 11 mission in 1969. Gus Grissom was a NASA astronaut and part of the Apollo program, but he tragically died in a spacecraft fire during a pre-launch test for the Apollo 1 mission in 1967.


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.
