Apollo 13
The Apollo missions were named more or less in order. After Apollo 1 was destroyed in a fire there were no other manned missions until Apollo 7. As such, starting at Apollo 7, the missions were named in order. Apollo 11 was 4th mission after Apollo 7.
Apollo 7 was the initial Apollo mission that left the ground and utilized the Saturn IB rocket (later missions used the Saturn IVB). The goal of the mission was to test the effectiveness of the newly redesigned command module for a trip to the moon. The mission did not leave earth orbit and unlike all other Apollo missions did not launch with a lunar module.
there were 18 Apollo missions
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.
