The lunar landing missions lasted from 1969 to 1972, however the Apollo prgram itself had started as far back as 1960, with the first Saturn rocket tests occuring in October, 1961.
It ended in December 1972 after Apollo 17.
The Gemini space program officially ended in 1966. Gemini was an intermediate space program conducted by NASA between the Mercury and Apollo programs, focusing on testing the capabilities necessary for the Apollo missions to the moon.
From Wikipedia:"Apollo 17 was the eleventh manned space mission in the NASA Apollo program. It was the first night launch of a U.S. human spaceflight and the sixth and final lunar landing mission of the Apollo program. The mission was launched on December 7, 1972, and concluded on December 19. As of 2008, it remains the most recent manned Moon landing"
The Apollo program was started by President John F. Kennedy in 1961, with the goal of landing a man on the Moon and bringing him back safely to Earth before the end of the decade.
The apprentice is due to start later than usual this year, the first program beginning at the end of may
Yes, the Apollo program ended in 1972 with the Apollo 17 mission.
The Russian space program that linked with the American Apollo spacecraft in space in 1975 was the Soviet Soyuz program. This joint mission was known as the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (ASTP) and symbolized the end of the Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union.
Directly following the end of the Apollo program was the Apollo Soyuz Test Program (ASTP) which, using Apollo flight hardware, performed the first international rendezvous and docking when the ASTP crew docked with a Russian Soyuz capsule. The next true program, one that required all new hardware, was the Shuttle Transport System, (STS). Also known as the Space Shuttle.
this is actually hi son but you really need to delete this program because it cant ever help anyone.
The US space program that sent astronauts to the moon was called the Apollo program. It was managed by NASA and consisted of a series of missions from 1961 to 1972, with Apollo 11 being the mission that successfully landed the first humans on the moon in 1969. The Apollo program aimed to achieve President John F. Kennedy's goal of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to Earth before the end of the 1960s.
The mission following the end of the Apollo program was the Apollo Soyuz Test Project, or ASTP. This program was the first joint US / Russia space mission. It entailed Apollo hardware rendezvousing and docking with Soyuz hardware while in orbit. This mission, however, also used most of the same hardware designed for the moon landings. The next new-hardware mission post Apollo was the Space Transport System or STS, better known as the Space Shuttle.
