  1. THE APOLLO MISSIONS By: Gabrielle Van Sant

  2. APOLLO 1 • Apollo 1 had a big fire during training and killed 3 people. • The fire was because of the oxygen. • It was a very small space craft.

  3. WHAT HAPPENED? The people were afraid after the big fire of Apollo. That was the worst thing. There was a spark that flew, and because of having pure oxygen in the air it caused a big fire. The people burned to death within about 6 seconds.

  4. APOLLO 7 • Apollo 7 was basically the second Apollo. • After the fire the people who created it looked over what was wrong and made a new one. • Apollo 7 only orbited the Earth.

  5. Successful Journey’s • They were able to see the world from a whole different point of view. • Apollo was successful in orbiting the Earth and returning. • Apollo 11,12, 14, 15, 16, and 17 all landed on the moon.

It could now hold 2 people. • Apollo 13 was the Rocket: Saturn V, AS-508Launch: 04/11/70, 13:13 CSTLanding (E): 04/17/70, 1:07 p.m. ESTDuration: 5 days, 22 hrs, 54 minCSM: Odyssey, CSM-109LM: Aquarius, LM-7

  11. APOLLO’S 18,19,and 20 • The Apollo’s 18, 19, and 20 were cancelled. • Not many people know about the cancelled missions. • There was only one website that I went on that had Apollo’s 18, 19, 20.

  12. Conclusion My experience with this project was great. I learned a lot. It was fun seeing the older space crafts, and learning about their differences. I used to think they were all the same, but now I know their not. Thanks to this project I know a lot more about these space crafts than before.
