The name of third crew member of Apollo-2 is?
There is no Apollo-2 mission. The Apollo program only went up to Apollo 17.
Who flew in Apollo 2?
The Apollo 2 was unmanned. After the fire of Apollo 1, NASA felt safer testing the rocket without any crew aboard first. The next manned mission after the Apollo 1 fire was Apollo 7.
Who was on the crew of Apollo 2?
AS-203 (informally called Apollo 2) was an unmanned mission on July 21, 1966 to test aspects of the Saturn V rocket. Officially, there is no Apollo 2. NASA administrators were not sure they wanted to continue with the Apollo name after the Apollo 1 tragedy. Before they made a decision there were two unmanned test flights, officially named AS-203 and AS-202
What happened to Apollo 2-6?
Apollo's 2 and 3 were ultimately not assigned. Apollo's 4, 5, & 6 were unmanned flights. A detailed chronology of Apollo's 2-6 begins with Apollo Saturn 204. AS-204, the official designation for Apollo 1, was scheduled to launch Feb. 21 1967. The name "Apollo 1" was chosen by the crew (Grissom, White, & Chaffee). A second and a third manned Apollo crews were selected and had begun training as of Jan. 1967. If Apollo 1 had launched successfully, the second and third crews would likely carry the following designations: Apollo 2 - McDivitt, Scott, and Schweickart (who would later crew Apollo 9) and Apollo 3 - Borman, Collins, and Anders (this crew would become Apollo 8, with Lovell replacing Collins). Following the Apollo 1 fire, NASA retired the Apollo 1 designation to honor the crew. The subsequent investigation and spacecraft redesign delayed manned Apollo flights for 21 months. During this time NASA applied the "popular" designation sequence to three unmanned Apollo flights. Apollo 4 (launched 11/9/67) was 1st test of the Saturn V, Apollo 5 (launched 1/22/68) 1st test of the Lunar Module, and Apollo 6 (launched 4/4/68) 2nd test of the Saturn V. It is said that NASA applied the designation Apollo 2 and 3 retroactively to AS-202 and AS-203, two unmanned Apollo Saturn 1B test flights launched in 1966, but this was never official. Apollo 7, making up Apollo 1's backup crew of Schirra, Eisele, and Cunningham, became the first manned Apollo mission launching in Oct. 11, 1968.
Why does it jump from Apollo 1 to Apollo 7?
Apollo 7 was the first manned mission. Apollos 4 and 6 were unmanned tests of the large Saturn V moon rocket. Apollo 5 was an unmanned test of the first Apollo Lunar Module on a smaller Saturn IB rocket; it carried no command and service module. Two unmanned tests of a smaller Saturn launch vehicle, the Saturn I, are sometimes known as Apollo 2 and 3. The name "Apollo 1" was given to the crew of Grissom, White and Chaffee for the flight that they never got to fly because of the launch pad fire that killed them in January 1967.

What happened to the Apollo 2?
The first three missions of the Apollo Program were unmanned test flights of Apollo hardware. These missions were officially named AS-201, AS-202, and AS-203. The first manned mission was named AS-204. However AS-204 met with disaster, when fire broke out during a routine ground test and all three crew members were killed. The widows of the three astronauts asked NASA to retire the mission naming convention in honor of their husbands. NASA agreed, and AS-204 was renamed Apollo 1. NASA then made the decision that further missions would begin with Apollo 4. It is my pure speculation that the names 2 and 3 were skipped in honor of the Apollo 1 crew. Since there were three astronauts killed, Apollos 1, 2, and 3 were retired in their memory. As such, the next flight was named Apollo 4, so there was no official Apollo 2.

How many Apollo missions have there been in all?
There were a total of 17 Apollo missions. Of these, 6 missions landed astronauts on the Moon between 1969 and 1972. The remaining missions were either test flights or space missions that did not involve lunar landings.
How long did the crew spend on the moon's surface?
The crew of Apollo 11 spent about 21 hours and 36 minutes on the moon's surface. This included two moonwalks by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin.
How long did the astronauts spend on the moon?
As the moon landing missions progressed, the time they spent on the moon increased. On Apollo 11 the crew spent a total of about 2 hours on the surface. By the final mission, Apollo 17, the crew spent three days on the surface, conducting 3 separate EVA's lasting 7 - 7.5 hours each.
What did Apollo 1 through 8 do?
Most of them were unmanned test flights with a few notable exclusions. Apollo 1 and her crew were destroyed in a fire weeks before the launch was scheduled. Apollo 7 was the first manned flight of the Apollo hardware, and Apollo 8 carried the first humans ever into orbit around the moon. All other flights were test flights.
