The Apollo program did not have missions specifically named "Pand Kitty Hawk." However, the Apollo missions, which aimed to land humans on the Moon, took place between 1961 and 1972. The first successful crewed Moon landing was Apollo 11 in July 1969. Kitty Hawk is historically significant for the Wright brothers' first powered flight in December 1903, unrelated to the Apollo missions.
