At the time of the fatal fire, the numbering of the Apollo missions
had not been positively settled, and the name Apollo 1 was applied
retrospectively by way of a memorial. By the time the program started
again after the fire, they were ready to skip the numbers to Apollo 4,
and the first 6 missions then were:
Apollo 4 - Saturn V rocket launched with a Command/Service Module (CSM),
unmanned. First test of Saturn V launch and third-stage restart. Test
of CSM functions.
Apollo 5 - Saturn I-B rocket launched with a Lunar Module (LM), unmanned.
Test of LM functions conducted in Earth orbit.
Apollo 6 - Saturn V launched with a CSM and LM, unmanned. Further testing
of functions.
Apollo 7 - Saturn I-B launched with a CSM. First manned flight of CSM,
testing functions and maneuvering.
Apollo 8 - Saturn V launched with a CSM. First manned flight of the
Saturn V, and first manned flight to lunar orbit.
Apollo 9 - Saturn I-B launched with a CSM and LM. First manned testing
of the LM in orbit, including the maneuvers that would be needed for the
actual landing.
Apollo 10 - Saturn V launched with a CSM and LM. As mentioned up on
"Jeopardy!" the day after the original game, this one was Apollo 11's
"dress rehearsal", doing all the steps except the actual landing;
they put the LM into a descent trajectory toward the Moon, then
aborted the descent and returned to orbit.
Apollo 11 through 17, of course, were the lunar-landing missions, all
using the Saturn V, with Apollo 13 aborted due to an accident and the
other six successful.
