There were a total of 15 manned flights as part of the Apollo space program. These flights included 6 missions that landed on the Moon (Apollo 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17) and 9 missions that orbited the Earth and Moon but did not land.
The three main space programs developed for human space travel and moon missions are NASA (United States), Soviet space program (USSR), and the Apollo program (United States), which was a part of NASA focused specifically on landing astronauts on the moon.
Apollo 17 was the eleventh manned space mission in the NASA Apollo program. It was the first night launch of a U.S. human spaceflight and the sixth and final lunar landing mission of the Apollo program. The mission was launched at 12:33 a.m. EST on December 7, 1972, and concluded on December 19. It remains both the most recent manned moon landing and manned flight beyond low Earth orbit.
The second manned space program was the Gemini program, conducted by NASA between 1961 and 1966. Gemini aimed to develop space travel techniques for missions to the Moon and later served as a bridge between the Mercury and Apollo programs.

Apollo 1 was the first manned mission in the Apollo program, launched in February 21, 1967. It never reached space.The first Apollo mission to actually reach space was the Apollo 7 mission.
The two US manned space programs that preceded Apollo were Mercury and Gemini. The Mercury program aimed to put a human in orbit around the Earth, while the Gemini program focused on developing the necessary skills and technologies for space travel to the Moon.
It was the Apollo 1 and Apollo 13.
Apollo 10 was the fourth manned mission in the American Apollo space program. It was an F type mission - its purpose was to be a "dry run" for the Apollo 11 mission.
The Apollo space program came to an end in 1975. It was responsible for the manned Moon flights. It was run by NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. It is a United States Government Agency and is now involved in other space programs,https://www.nasa.gov/
The last Apollo Missions (Sky Lab) were in the early to mid 1970's. Richard Nixon was president when the Apollo Program was cancelled, so he played a prominent role. The US/NASA began development of the STS (Space Shuttle) shortly afterwards.
