Apollo 9 followed Apollo 8.
Apollo 9 was a manned space mission conducted by NASA in March 1969. It was the third crewed mission in the Apollo program and focused on testing the lunar module in Earth orbit for the first time. The mission was crucial in preparing for the eventual moon landing by testing the docking and rendezvous procedures needed for future lunar missions.
Apollo 13 is the mission that famously experienced an explosion in its Service Module while en route to the moon in 1970. The explosion led to the mission being aborted, and the astronauts had to use the Lunar Module as a "lifeboat" to return safely to Earth.
There were a total of 19 Apollo missions: Apollo-1A : Unmanned suborbital flight Apollo - 2 : Unmanned orbital flight Apollo - 3 : Unmanned suborbital flight Apollo - 1 : Manned orbital mission, cancelled due to fatal accident. Apollo - 4 : Unmanned orbital flight Apollo - 5 : Unmanned orbital flight Apollo - 6 : Unmanned orbital fligth Apollo - 7 : Manned orbital mission Apollo - 8 : Manned lunar orbit mission Apollo - 9 : Manned orbital mission Apollo -10 : Manned lunar orbit mission Apollo- 11 : Lunar Landing mission Apollo- 12 : Lunar Landing mission Apollo- 13 : Lunar Landing mission, aborted due to accident Apollo- 14 : Lunar Landing mission Apollo- 15 : Lunar Landing mission Apollo- 16 : Lunar Landing mission Apollo- 17 : Lunar Landing mission Apollo -18 : Space rendevous mission with Soviet Soyuz spacecraft (Apollo-Soyuz)
The first Apollo manned Apollo mission to get of the ground was Apollo 7. This 11 day mission was simply a test flight of the command and service module. The second Earth only Apollo flight was that of Apollo 9. The purpose of this flight was to test the Lunar module to make sure the descent engine and ascent engined worked flawlessly.
The Apollo mission with the main engine failure that prevented a moon landing was Apollo 13. The crew, led by Jim Lovell, successfully aborted the mission and returned safely to Earth in a dramatic and heroic effort.
The Apollo 9 mission was to test the separation and rejoining of the lunar module in earth orbit.

Yes, Apollo 9 was a successful mission. It was the third crewed mission in the Apollo program and marked the first flight of both the lunar module and the Command/Service Module together in space. The astronauts conducted crucial tests and maneuvers to demonstrate the capabilities of the spacecraft for future missions to the Moon.
Apollo 9 cost an estimated $340 million in 1969 or approximately $2.2 billion in 2014.
The space mission leading to Apollo 11 were Apollo7, 8, 9, and Apollo10.
The Apollo 9 space mission was the first test of the luar module in earths orbit. The astronauts were Thomas Stafford, ALan Bean and Eugene Cernan.
Pete Conrad led the Apollo 12 mission in November of 1969
