Project space the Apollo (Apollo Program), one of the space projects of NASA at the time of the space race between the Soviet Union and the USA was trying to conquer the first human on the surface of the moon landing bring. The project in the period of the presidency, Dwight Eisenhower began to work. the Apollo after the next presidential John F. Kennedy with the seriousness of the continued. John F. Kennedy supported his plan of landing a man on the moon during a special lecture addressed to Congress in May 1961 thus stated:...I believe my country should be to achieve the goal of landing humans on the moon and to the health of the back to the ground before the exit of this decade, committed.In this period, no space program, another not be used for human of exploration paths with long-range in space. and done none could not so much hard and expensive.

The goal Kennedy during the duration of assignment 11 on July 2, 1969, landed astronauts like Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin on the moon while Michael Collins on the orbit of the moon. was fulfilled.5 the project subsequent to Apollo, as well as for landing astronauts on the moon, which was its last in December 1972 was carried out. In this 6 flight space Apollo 12 people on the moon walk, and more. It's the first people were that managed to land on a mass of other celestial.

Project Apollo from 1961 until 1975 was implemented, and the third schedule of the flight space human after Mercury and Project Gemini by the agency, Space, International, USA, NASA. Of Apollo spacecraft Apollo and the rigs throw Saturn used was, that later in the program, Skylab, and a pilot program in common between the American and Russian Apollo-Soyuz Test Project were used, so the next project, often as part of the total project Apollo considered was put.

project with only 2 major obstacle end. first, it's a fire on the launch pad of Apollo 1 was to lead to the death of all three astronaut Gus , etc., Ed White, etc., and Roger Chaffee. second, it related to the explosion in Apollo 13 when they reach the moon, which was the spacecraft for serious about Mar. That thanks to the efforts of the controller, flight, engineers, project, Bradford, backup, and skills of their own. 3 the astronaut was John's own rescue.

The Apollo is a landmark in the fly space, the human village, and the only project of sending humans beyond the orbit of the Earth up to that time remained in ... Apollo 8, the first spacecraft, aboard which was in the orbit of celestial bodies, the other ... while Apollo 17 as the last and last mission aboard the outside of the orbit of the Earth is known.The project above makes the proceeds of advances in the abundance of the fields of technology, environmental been of fan of the rocket launch and human flight in space, which includes the device, auto, aircraft, telecommunication, and computers.. Apollo also makes getting excited a lot of interest in the field, abundant engineering, was and progress, abundance as signs of the program border. Many objects and artifacts of the project are on display in various places around the world are notable it's the air and Space Museum of the Smithsonian.
