Best Answer

When building the Apollo spacecraft, there were numerous limits to avoid.

Firstly, the weight of the spacecraft had to be within a certain limit. If the equipment or spacecraft were too heavy, the Saturn V could not propel the spacecraft fast enough to reach the moon.

Was the Apollo 18 cancelled?

Yes, the Apollo 18 mission was canceled. Some People refer to the Apollo Soyuz Test Project as Apollo 18, but the original plans for 18 were canceled


Why are the Apollo spacecrafts called Apollo?

Apollo was the name of the project that was attempting to get men to the moon. The program was named after the Greek god of light and music by NASA manager Abe Silverstein. There were various parts of the mission, starting with basic tests of the components that would be used, such as the modules and the rockets. Some of the missions sent unmanned rockets into space. The first mission was Apollo 1, then Apollo 2 and so on. Apollo 7 was the first of the Apollo missions to take men into space. Apollo 11 was the first one to land on the moon. Apollo 17 was the last Apollo mission.


What happen in Apollo 18?

Apollo 18 is when the government send some astrounats to check out more of space. But those astrounats did not no but the government knew there where some living creature up there. That mission killed 3 astrounants and the governor did not do anything to save them


What were some of the experiments in Apollo 7?

The Apollo 7 experiments included tests of sextant calibration, attitude control, evaporator, navigation, rendezvous radar, thermal control system, and service module propulsion systems. Really the whole flight was an experiment as it was the first manned mission of the Apollo spacecraft.


What were the results of the Apollo 11 mission?

There are two primary outcomes from the Apollo 11 mission. The first, and most important, was that man could travel to the moon, land on its surface, get out and walk around on its surface without sinking under the soil (a real concern many held prior to launch), get back into the spacecraft, rendezvous with the orbiting Command Module, and return safely to Earth. That was the primary, and most important goal, of the Apollo 11 mission. Less important, at least for this mission, was the return of samples and pictures and the placement and execution of some small science experiments on the lunar surface. These were all performed, and the science was important, but it was not the primary goal of the mission.

What is a great name for a space mission?

Names have nothing to do with a space mission. They are just an arbitrary way to keep track of each mission. Some of the names of the past are Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Surveyor, and Voyager. They all accomplished great things in space.


Why did they do Apollo 13?

Apollo 13 was supposed to land in the Fra Mauro region of the moon. Their primary assignment was to sample the boulders around Cone Crater. After one of the oxygen tanks exploded halfway to the moon, the mission became one of survival and safe return of the crew, which was accomoplished after some rather ingenious improvising by the men of mission control. 9 months after Apollo 13, Apollo 14 successfully accomplisheed all of 13's goals.


What are some disasters that happened on manned space missions?

The explosion of the Challenger shuttle. The Reentry failure of Columbia. The fire aboard Apollo 1. There were the Soyuz 1 and 11 disasters. Apollo 13 mission was almost a disaster as well.

How many times NASA go to moon?

There were 17 Apollo missions altogether, although not all of these went to the moon. Many were simply test missions, some unmanned, and some in earth orbit only. Of the missions that went to the moon, Apollo 8 was the first mission to reach the moon, orbit it and return, followed by the next mission to the moon, Apollo 10. However both these missions were not designed to land on the moon's surface but were designed to test the equipment and to look for suitable landing sites. Apollo 13 also reached the moon, but, because of an explosion on board, was not able to land but returned to earth having made a 'free return trajectory' around the moon. The missions that actually landed on the moon were Apollo 11 (the first) followed by 12, 14, 15, 16 and 17 after which the Apollo programme was cancelled. So the number of mission to the moon in the Apollo programme was 9 missions, six of which made a landing, meaning that 12 astronauts in total have walked on the moon's surface to date.
