The U.S. space program that put astronauts in space is NASA's Mercury program, which launched the first American, Alan Shepard, into space in 1961. This was followed by the Gemini program, which enabled longer missions and two-man crews, paving the way for the Apollo program. Apollo famously landed astronauts on the Moon, starting with Apollo 11 in 1969. These programs collectively advanced human spaceflight and exploration.

I believe it was the Appolo Program. Hope i helped!
The first US man in space was John Glen in Friendship 7. He orbitted the earth in space but never went out into space. But the first man technically considered to be put in space by the US was Alan Shepard aboard the Freedom 7 on a sub-orbital flight. Hope this helps.
Project Mercury sent the first 6 Americans into space. They were all solo flights.

The Mercury project, the first human spaceflight program of the United States, gathered data on the basics of space flight. It aimed to put a human in orbit around Earth and explore the challenges of space travel such as weightlessness, reentry, and communication.
