The three crewmen of the mission in October, 1968, were Mission Commander Walter M. Schirra, Command Module Pilot Donn F. Eisele, and Lunar Module Pilot R. Walter Cunningham.

This was the first Apollo manned mission, and tested the spacecraft in Earth orbit. The next mission, Apollo 8, made the first trip to the Moon and back, although they only orbited and did not land there.

Schirra had flown twice before, once on Mercury and once on Gemini. Cunningham and Eisele made no other space flights.
