  • Launch mass: 2,923,387 kg
  • Total spacecraft: 46,678 kg
    • CSM mass: 30,320 kg, of which CM was 5960 kg, SM 24,360 kg
    • LM mass: 16,448 kg, of which ascent stage was 4985 kg, descent stage 11,463 kg

In later times he became in part confused or equated with Helios, god of the sun, and his sister similarly equated wi Apollo 11The Apollo 11 mission was the first manned lunar landing. It was the fifth manned mission in the Apollo program. That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind.

Apollo 8 was the first mission that carried humans beyond Earth orbit, and the first time anyone was closer to another celestial body than they were to Earth. Crew Frank Borman (2), commander Jame Apollo 13This article is about the Moon mission. There is also a ''movie by the name of Apollo 13''. Apollo 13 was an American space mission, part of the Apollo program. It was intended to be the third mission to land on the Moon, but instead is famous for the cri Apollo 7Apollo 7 was the first manned mission in the Apollo program to be launched. It was an eleven-day earth-orbital mission, the first manned launch of the Saturn IB launch vehicle, and the first three-man American space mission.
