Officially, there was no Apollo 2 or 3. These were unmanned flights that took place after the Apollo 1 fire, while officials were still trying to decide if they wanted to continue using the Apollo name. By the time they had made up their minds they had already launched 2 test flights of the Saturn V. Following after those, they flew three more unmanned tests, named Apollo 4, 5, and 6. The first manned mission was Apollo 7.

Actually, that's not quite it. First of all, patches were commissioned only for manned missions, and contrary to the Wikipedia article, examination of the photographs shot during training reveal that the patch Grissom, White and Chaffee designed for AS-204 has no designation at all. Second, the unmanned flights that would have been designated Apollo 1, Apollo 2, and Apollo 3 flew BEFORE the flight that Betty Grissom insisted be designated Apollo 1. AS-201 (Apollo 1) flew on 26 February 1966, AS203 (Apollo 3) flew on 5 July 1966, and AS-202 (Apollo 2) flew on 25 August 1966. The flights after AS-204 used the normal designations assigned after liftoff. Note that, by this scheme, AS-204, had it been launched, would have been designated Apollo 4, not Apollo 1.

How many Apollos are there?

There were 15 manned Apollo spacecrafts flown and 6 unmanned. 2 more lie as museum pieces. One at Johnson Space Center in Houston and the other one at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Apollo 1 burned on the launchpan killing the crew. Apollo 2-6 were unmanned, testing both the launch vehicle and the spacecrafts themselves. Apollo 7 and Apollo 9 were manned earth orbital missions. Apollo 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 & 17 were lunar missions, 6 of which landed. Skylab 2, 3, & 4 were long duration earth orbital missions. Apollo Soyuz Test Project, the first joint mission with the Soviets, was the last Apollo mission.


How many Apollo missions?

There were 5 unmanned missions following the ill-fated Apollo 1 disaster. After that, there were 2 earth orbital missions (Apollo 7 & Apollo 9), and 9 lunar missions (Apollo 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17). There were 3 long duration earth orbital missions after Apollo 17 that used the Apollo hardware and spacecraft. Skylab 1 was the workshop itself where the astronauts lived for months at a time. Skylab 2 lasted 28 days, Skylab 3 lasted 56 days and Skylab 4 lasted 84 days in space. The last mission to use Apollo spacecraft was the first joint mission with the Soviet Union. An American Apollo docked with a Soviet Soyuz spacecraft. The 2 vehicles stayed docked for 44 hours before parting ways. The last Apollo spacecraft splashed down on July 24, 1975. So total there were 19 "Apollo" missions. 13 manned missions and 6 unmanned.
