| THE APOLLO PROGRAM | ||
Altogether, there were eleven manned flights in the Apollo program, with nine traveling to the Moon. Six of these flights resulted in manned missions to the lunar surface, with a total of twelve men walking on the Moon. The final three flights of Apollo carried the Lunar Rover Vehicle (LRV), which allowed the astronauts to travel further on the Moon’s surface and to explore terrain that was too rough for the Lunar Module to land upon. The last Apollo manned flight to the Moon launched on December 7, 1972. |
