There really isn't a definition of the Apollo missions so much as a purpose for the Apollo Program as well as a purpose for each mission that supported the goal of the Apollo Program. The Apollo Program was a program that ran from 1963-1972 with the purpose of safely placing a man on the moon as well as safely bringing him back to Earth. Of all the missions, two orbited the Earth, two orbited the moon, one (Apollo 13) was supposed to land on the moon but malfunctioned, slungshot around the moon and safely returned to earth leaving six missions that actually landed on the moon and returned safely to Earth.
