Project Apollo

Project Apollo was also known as the Apollo program. It was the third United States human spaceflight program carried out by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

The plan was to succeed in landing the first humans on the Moon. The project went from 1969 to 1972.

They were first conceived through Dwight D. Eisenhower’s administration as a three-person spacecraft to follow the one-person Project Mercury, which put the first Americans in space.

Apollo was later dedicated to President John F. Kennedy’s national aim of “landing a man on the Moon by the end of this decade and returning him safely to the Earth.”

It was the third US human spaceflight program to fly. Only preceded by the two-person Project Gemini conceptualized in 1961 to extend spaceflight capacity in support of Apollo.
