Every manned Apollo mission carried a crew of three. For Apollos 7-17, they had the titles of Commander (CDR), Command Module Pilot (CMP) and Lunar Module Pilot (LMP). The Commander and Lunar Module Pilot flew the Lunar Module while the Command Module Pilot remained in the Command Module. "Lunar Module Pilot" was somewhat of a misnomer as the Commander actually piloted the LM while the LMP acted as a flight engineer on both the Command Module and Lunar Module.

The Skylab and Apollo-Soyuz missions did not have a lunar module so the third crewmember had a different title (Science Pilot or Docking Module Pilot, respectively).

The Apollo 11 crew consisted of CDR Neil Alden Armstrong, CMP Michael Collins and LMP Edwin Eugene 'Buzz' Aldrin, Jr. Armstrong and Aldrin landed on the moon while Collins remained in lunar orbit.
