What is NASA’s Apollo program?
In July 1960, before the end of the Gemini Program, NASA announced the launch of the Apollo Program.
At first it was a manned trip to locate a place whose conditions would favor landing on the Moon. However, the existing pressures due to the space race with the Soviet Union turned this program into the definitive project for man to set foot on our satellite for the first time.
The Apollo program consisted of several uncrewed test missions and 12 manned missions. Among those 12 missions, three were carried out to orbit the Earth (Apollo 7, 9 and Apollo Soyuz); two missions orbited the Moon (Apollo 8 and 10); a mission had to be aborted (apollo 13); three missions were canceled for economic reasons (Apollo 18, 19 and 20), and six missions landed on the moon.
