It was the 11th mission in the Apollo project.

Like the planets, many US rockets and space projects carried names from mythology. The first manned project was called Mercury, after the winged Roman messenger. The second, Gemini, came from the sign of twins because the capsule carried two astronauts. The Apollo project was named by NASA manager Abe Silverstein who thought "Apollo riding his chariot across the Sun was appropriate to the grand scale of the proposed program."
