Best Answer

Only lunar (moon) mission spacecraft were called Apollos. The first manned space flight program was named Mercury, the second was named Gemini. These were test/learning programs leading to the third named Apollo. These early U.S. programs were named after Greek and Roman Gods. Apollo was a god of light and the sun, truth and prophecy and other talents.

The spacecraft that were made as part of the Apollo program are called Apollo spacecraft and the flights called Apollo missions. Apollo 11 was the first Apollo mission to put men on the moon.
