They were all called Apollo, followed by the mission number. The missions that landed on the moon were Apollos 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17.
No. Apollo 13 was a mission by the American space program, NASA, (National Aeronautics and Space Administration.) The mission, however was a disaster, almost killing 3 brave astronauts by the burst of oxygen tank number 2.
Apollo 10 was launched May 26, 1969. That week, the number one song in the U.S. was "Get Back" by the Beatles. The week prior to launch, the number 1 song was "Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In" by The 5th Dimension
The last Apollo mission was Apollo 17 which took place in December 1972.

Apollo 8
Apollo 11.
It was Apollo11
Apollo 11 was named after the Apollo program, which aimed to land a person on the Moon and bring them safely back to Earth. The number 11 designates that it was the eleventh mission in the Apollo program's series of lunar missions.

Very simple - it was the next mission in the series after Apollo 7. One of the crew members - James Lovell - drew a sketch from which the mission patch was made. It showed the path of the spacecraft, going off to the Moon and returning to Earth describing a figure of 8. Lovell knew that the actual flight path wouldn't be an exact figure of 8, but it was descriptive of the aim of the mission - to fly to the Moon and return - and was a very visual way of including the mission number.

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.
