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.
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.
The first Apollo manned Apollo mission to get of the ground was Apollo 7. This 11 day mission was simply a test flight of the command and service module. The second Earth only Apollo flight was that of Apollo 9. The purpose of this flight was to test the Lunar module to make sure the descent engine and ascent engined worked flawlessly.
Apollo 1 is the official name that was later given to the never-flown AS-204 mission. Its command module was destroyed by fire killing the 3 astronauts aboard during a test and training exercise on January 27, 1967 AS-203, and umanned flight of the Saturn 1B rocket, is sometimes called Apollo 2. AS-202, a suborbital flight is sometimes called Apollo 3. However, the first official Apollo flight to fly was Apollo 4, the first flight of the Saturn V rocket. Apollo 4 was unmanned. The first manned Apollo flight was Apollo 7, an 11 day low earth orbit mission.
The Apollo missions typically lasted around 8 to 12 days, depending on the specific mission objectives. The duration of the mission included travel time to the moon, conducting experiments, and returning safely to Earth.
The Apollo program was first conceived in early 1960. Because the design for the Apollo spacecraft was ongoing even beyond the final landing mission there is no specific on which it can be said the design was completed. In fact, on the day of the fire they were running tests on newly installed systems. So design of Apollo 1 began in 1960 and ended the day of the fire.
No, 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.
Significance of the Apollo 11 mission Apollo 11 was the first manned lunar mission. Back in the day when the space race began, Russia was "in front" with Sputnik and their advantage over the U.S. in launch capabilities. At one point, John F. Kennedy stepped in and made a decree that we'd be on the moon before the end of the decade. The funding appeared, and NASA went into high gear to get it done and beat the Russians to the moon. We did that with Apollo 11. Use the link below for more information.
The Apollo 11 landed back on Earth on July 24, 1969
