==Uncrewed test flights==

From 1961 through 1967, [[Saturn (rocket)|Saturn launch vehicle]]s and [[Apollo (spacecraft)|Apollo spacecraft]] components were tested in uncrewed flights.

The [[Saturn I]] launch vehicle was originally planned to carry crewed Command Module flights into [[low Earth orbit]], but its {{convert|20000|lb||adj=on}} payload capacity limit could not lift even a partially fueled Service Module, which would have required building a lightweight [[retrorocket]] module for deorbit. These plans were eventually scrapped, in favor of using the uprated [[Saturn IB]] to launch the Command Module with a half-fueled Service Module for crewed Earth orbit tests. This limited Saturn I flights to Saturn launch vehicle development, CSM [[boilerplate (spaceflight)|boilerplate]] testing, and three micrometeoroid satellite launches in support of Apollo.

There was some incongruity in the numbering and naming of the first three uncrewed Apollo-Saturn (AS), or Apollo flights. This is due to AS-204 being renamed to [[Apollo 1]] posthumously. This crewed flight was to have followed the first three uncrewed flights. After the fire which killed the AS-204 crew on the pad during a test and training exercise, uncrewed Apollo flights resumed to test the Saturn V launch vehicle and the Lunar Module; these were designated Apollo 4, 5 and 6. The first crewed Apollo mission was thus Apollo 7. Simple "Apollo" numbers were never assigned to the first three uncrewed flights, although renaming [[AS-201]], [[AS-202]], and [[AS-203]] as Apollo 1-A, Apollo 2 and Apollo 3, had been briefly considered.<ref name="apollo23-popsci" />

===Saturn IB===

The Saturn I was converted to the Uprated Saturn I, eventually designated [[Saturn IB]], by replacing the [[S-IV]] second stage with the [[S-IVB]], which would also be used as the third stage of the Saturn V with the addition of on-orbit restart capability. This increased the payload capacity to {{convert|46000|lb|kg}}, enough to orbit a Command Module with a half-fueled Service Module, and more than enough to orbit a fully fueled Lunar Module.

Two suborbital tests of the Apollo Block I Command and Service Module, one S-IVB development test, and one Lunar Module test were conducted. Success of the LM test led to cancellation of a planned second uncrewed flight.

===Launch escape system tests===

From August 1963 to January 1966, a number of tests were conducted at the [[White Sands Missile Range]] for development of the [[launch escape system]] (LES). These included simulated "pad aborts", which might occur while the Apollo-Saturn [[space vehicle]] was still on the [[launch pad]], and flights on the [[Little Joe II]] rocket to simulate [[Apollo abort modes|Mode I abort]]s which might occur while the vehicle was in the air.<ref name="program-summary" />

===Saturn V===

Prior to [[George Mueller (NASA)|George Mueller]]'s tenure as NASA's Associate Administrator for Manned Space Flight starting in 1963, it was assumed that 20 [[Saturn V]]s, with at least 10 unpiloted test flights, would be required to achieve a crewed Moon landing, using the conservative one-stage-at-a-time testing philosophy used for the Saturn I. But Mueller introduced the "all-up" testing philosophy of using three live stages plus the Apollo spacecraft on every test flight. This achieved development of the Saturn V with far fewer uncrewed tests, and facilitated achieving the Moon landing by the 1969 goal. The size of the Saturn V production lot was reduced from 20 to 15 units.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://history.nasa.gov/SP-350/toc.html|title=Apollo Expeditions to the Moon|last1=von Braun|first1=Wernher|editor-last1=Cortright|editor-first1= Edgar M.|publisher=NASA Langley Research Center|year=1975|access-date=February 27, 2008|page=50|chapter=3.4|chapter-url=https://history.nasa.gov/SP-350/ch-3-4.html|isbn=978-9997398277|archive-date=February 14, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080214215716/http://history.nasa.gov/SP-350/toc.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

Three uncrewed test flights were planned to human-rate the [[super heavy-lift launch vehicle|super heavy-lift]] [[Saturn V]] which would take crewed Apollo flights to the Moon. Success of the first flight and qualified success of the second led to the decision to cancel the third uncrewed test.

==Alphabetical mission types==

The Apollo program required sequential testing of several major mission elements in the runup to a crewed lunar landing. An alphabetical list of major mission types was proposed by [[Owen Maynard]] in September 1967.<ref name="tragedy">{{cite book |last1=Brooks |first1=Courtney G. |last2=Grimwood |first2=James M. |last3=Swenson |first3=Loyd S. |title=Chariots for Apollo: A History of Manned Lunar Spacecraft |publisher=NASA |year=1979 |url=https://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/History/SP-4205/ch9-5.html |chapter=Tragedy and Recovery |access-date=October 20, 2019 |archive-date=October 7, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211007080924/https://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/History/SP-4205/ch9-5.html |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last1=Murray |first1=Charles |last2=Cox |first2=Catherine Bly |title=Apollo: The Race to the Moon |publisher=Simon and Schuster |year=1989 |pages=315–16 |isbn=9780671706258}}</ref> Two "A-type" missions performed uncrewed tests of the CSM and the Saturn V, and one B-type mission performed an uncrewed test of the LM. The C-type mission, the first crewed flight of the CSM in Earth orbit, was performed by Apollo 7.

The list was revised upon [[George Low]]'s proposal to commit a mission to lunar orbit ahead of schedule, an idea influenced by the status of the CSM as a proven craft and production delays of the LM.<ref>{{cite book |editor1-last=Cortright |editor1-first=Edgar M. |title=Apollo Expeditions to the Moon |publisher=Dover |year=2019 |page=171 |isbn=9780486836522}}</ref> Apollo 8 was reclassified from its original assignment as a D-type mission, a test of the complete CSM/LM spacecraft in Earth orbit, to a "C-prime" mission which would fly humans to the Moon. Once complete, it obviated the need for the E-type objective of a [[medium Earth orbit]]al test. The D-type mission was instead performed by Apollo 9; the F-type mission, Apollo 10, flew the CSM/LM spacecraft to the Moon for final testing, without landing. The G-type mission, Apollo 11, performed the first lunar landing, the central goal of the program.

The Block I CSM spacecraft did not have capability to fly with the LM, and the three crew positions were designated Command Pilot, Senior Pilot, and Pilot, based on [[Command Pilot Wings|U.S. Air Force pilot ratings]]. The Block II spacecraft was designed to fly with the Lunar Module, so the corresponding crew positions were designated Commander, Command Module Pilot, and Lunar Module Pilot regardless of whether a Lunar Module was present or not on any mission.<ref name="crewed-positions">{{cite book |last=Shayler |first=David |date=August 26, 2002 |title=Apollo: The Lost and Forgotten Missions |publisher=Springer Science & Business Media |pages=117, 124–125 |isbn=9781852335755}}</ref>

Seven of the missions involved [[extravehicular activity]] (EVA), spacewalks or moonwalks outside of the spacecraft. These were of three types: testing the lunar EVA suit in Earth orbit ([[Apollo 9]]), exploring the lunar surface, and retrieving film canisters from the [[Scientific Instrument Module]] stored in the Service Module.<ref name="crewed-eva">{{cite web |url=https://www.americaspace.com/2017/12/17/walking-in-the-void-45-years-since-the-last-deep-space-eva/ |title=Walking in the Void: 45 Years Since the Last Deep-Space EVA |author=Evans, Ben |publisher=AmericaSpace |date=December 17, 2017 |access-date=January 30, 2019}}</ref>

=== Canceled missions ===

{{Main|Canceled Apollo missions}}

Several planned missions of the Apollo program were canceled for a variety of reasons, including changes in technical direction, the Apollo 1 fire, hardware delays, and budget limitations.

* Before the [[Apollo 1|Apollo 1 fire]], two crewed Block I spacecraft missions were planned, but then it was decided that the second one would give no more information about the spacecraft performance not obtained from the first, and could not carry out extra activities such as EVA, and was canceled.

* The Saturn V's all-up testing strategy and relatively good success rate accomplished the first Moon landing on the sixth flight, leaving ten available for Moon landings through Apollo 20,<ref name="canceled-nasa">{{cite web |url=https://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/lunar/apollo_18_20.html |title=Apollo 18 through 20 - The Cancelled Missions |author=Williams, David |publisher = National Aeronautics and Space Administration | date=11 December 2003 |access-date=3 March 2018}}</ref> but waning public interest in the program led to decreased Congressional funding, forcing NASA to economize. First, {{awrap|Apollo 20}} was cut to make a Saturn V available to launch the [[Skylab]] space station whole instead of building it on-orbit using multiple Saturn IB launches.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.astronautix.com/a/apollo20.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161013125130/http://www.astronautix.com/a/apollo20.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=October 13, 2016|title=Apollo 20|publisher=Astronautix|access-date=March 15, 2018}}</ref> Eight months later, Apollo 18 and 19 were also cut to further economize, and because of fears of increased chance of failure with a large number of lunar flights.<ref name="sciamerican-canceled">{{cite magazine |url=https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/canceled-apollo-missions/ |title=Down to Earth: The Apollo Moon Missions That Never Were |author=Silber, Kennith |date=July 16, 2009 |magazine=Scientific American |access-date=January 1, 2019}}</ref><ref name="canceled-PM">{{cite magazine |url=https://www.popularmechanics.com/space/moon-mars/a7166/why-apollo-really-stopped-at-17/|title=Why Apollo Really Stopped at 17|author=Rousseau, Steve |magazine=[[Popular Mechanics]] |date=2 September 2011 |access-date=3 March 2018}}</ref>
