How many astranauts manned each appollo mission?

All the ones who could spell "astronauts and "Apollo".|||The manned Apollo missions were:





Apollo 7 - Apollo 17. There were 3 on each. Apollo 1 was not a true mission, but a practice launch that took the lives of astronauts White, Chaffee, and Grissom.





Apollo 7 was the first manned launch of the Apollo capsule %26amp; service module.


Apollo 8 was the first manned moon mission (they orbited 10 times)


Apollo 9 was the first launch of the Lunar Module, in Earth orbit only.


Apollo 10 was the dress-rehearsal for Apollo 11 - they separated the LM, and flew down to 50,000 feet of the surface.


Apollo 11 was the first lunar landing.


Apollo 12, 14,15, 16, and 17 were additional landings.


Apollo 13 failed to land due to an oxygen tank explosion.





Apollo 18-20 were cancelled, but their hardware was launched to Skylab, which orbited the Earth.





3 men were on each manned launch. There were 9 trips to the moon, and 24 astronauts made that trip (3 of them went twice - Lovell (8 %26amp; 13), Young (10 %26amp; 16), and Cernan (10 %26amp; 17).|||Three on each Apollo.
