It was an aptly named program, as they used both Apollo and Soyuz vehicles. Apollo on the American side, and Soyuz on the Soviet side.

What are all the vehicles did they use on the Apollo space mission?
N.A,S.A used two types of vehicles on the moon, one was hand pulled by the Apollo 14 astronauts, and Apollo15,16, 17 used a solar powered vehicle on the moon.
Which Apollo mission was the first to use the moon buggy?
Apollo 15
What happened after Apollo program?
Apollo-Soyuz, to use up remaining lunar-capable gear, such as the Apollo 18 capsule. And then there was Skylab, which used non- lunar capable rockets and capsules. Finally, there came the Space Shuttle.
Is Rutledge's account of Apollo 20 a Hoax?
A hoax of course. A Saturn V moon rocket is impossible to launch in secret. All the Apollo capsules are accounted for. Nixon canceled the Apollo project as quickly as he could as it was the idea of Democratic president JFK. He saw to it that the gear created for Apollo 18 was wasted on Apollo Soyuz, just to use it up so scientists wouldn't ask to go to the Moon any more. The stated purpose of Apollo Soyuz was to see if American spacecraft could be docked with Soviet spacecraft via a special adapter. However, since that was the last flightworthy Apollo capsule of that design, there would be no point in testing whether it could dock with a Soyuz!
What is the difference between Apollo 11 and Saturn 5?
Apollo 11 was a mission, Saturn V was a rocket. The Apollo 11 mission was the first Apollo mission to land man on the moon, it use a Saturn V rocket to take off from earth and get in to orbit.
How many Apollo missions?
There were 5 unmanned missions following the ill-fated Apollo 1 disaster. After that, there were 2 earth orbital missions (Apollo 7 & Apollo 9), and 9 lunar missions (Apollo 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17). There were 3 long duration earth orbital missions after Apollo 17 that used the Apollo hardware and spacecraft. Skylab 1 was the workshop itself where the astronauts lived for months at a time. Skylab 2 lasted 28 days, Skylab 3 lasted 56 days and Skylab 4 lasted 84 days in space. The last mission to use Apollo spacecraft was the first joint mission with the Soviet Union. An American Apollo docked with a Soviet Soyuz spacecraft. The 2 vehicles stayed docked for 44 hours before parting ways. The last Apollo spacecraft splashed down on July 24, 1975. So total there were 19 "Apollo" missions. 13 manned missions and 6 unmanned.
How many Apollo flights was there?
There were a total of 14 missions There were 3 unmanned missions (Apollo4, Apollo5, Apollo6), 3 manned missions into Earth orbit.(Apollo7, Apollo8, Apollo9) 6 missions landed on the moon. The first two flights (11 and 12) included successful Moon landings. The Apollo 13 mission was aborted before the landing attempt, but the crew returned safely to Earth. The four subsequent Apollo missions (14 through 17) included successful Moon landings. The last three of these were J-class missions that included the use of Lunar Rovers. Apollo 17 launched December 7, 1972 and was the last Apollo mission to the moon. The Apollo spacecraft and Saturn launch vehicles were later used for the Skylab program and the joint American-Soviet Apollo-Soyuz Test Project. These later programs are thus often considered to be part of the overall Apollo program. The were no missions named Apollo 1, 2 or 3. They were called SA-1 SA-2 and SA-3. They were test launches of the Saturn V rocket and the Apollo capsule.
How many Apollo 11 missions were there?
There was only one Apollo 11 mission. Each of the 11 Apollo missions had a different number. The first manned Apollo mission was Apollo 7, and Apollo 17 was the last "Apollo" mission, and the last mission to land men on the moon. There were 5 more missions that used the Apollo hardware. Skylab 1 (the orbital workshop) used the third stage of an Apollo/Saturnvehicle, which was converted into living and working areas for the 3 Skylab crews that inhabited it. Skylab 2, 3, & 4 (actually numbered 1, 2, & 3) used a mini-Apollo/Saturn stackup.While they used the complete Apollo Command and Service modules, they lacked the first Saturn stage, which was not needed to put a relatively light Skylab Apollo into earth orbit.The last mission to use the Apollo hardware was the Apollo/Soyuz Test Project (ASTP) which featured the first docking in space between an American and Soviet spacecraft. I have not listed Apollo 1 because it did not fly.The Apollo 1Command Module caught fire during a launch test a month beforethe planned launch, killing all 3 astronauts aboard. The next 5 Apollo missions (2 throught 6) were unmanned test flights of the newly resdesigned Command Module and one test of a Lunar Module. In addition to these missions, 3 other Apollo/Saturns were built but not used for spaceflight.One of themis in a museum in Johnson Space Center and the other 2are in other museums in the United States.
What time were the Moon buggies inveted?
The idea for lunar roving vehicles, or moon buggies, was first published in a 1952-1954 series in Colliers Weekly Magazine. However the first functioning version of a lunar roving vehicle was produced by Boeing for the Apollo missions 15, 16, and 17. NASA had requested for them to be completed by the 1st of April 1971. The first use of the Lunar Roving vehicles was on the 31st of July 1971, on the Apollo 15 mission.
What is the name of the three-man spacecraft?
The first U.S. three-man capsule was named Apollo. The Russian three-man capsule is named the Soyuz, and is still in use today, carrying crew to and from the International Space Station.
What do crews often use to reach the space station?
Up until today, they used the Shuttle. Since this was the last shuttle mission, they will need to use the Soyuz space capsules until NASA comes up with a replacement vehicle, which is not even on the drawing board.
What did the Apollo 11 mission accomplish?
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.
