Crewed Lunar Program Missions

Capsule Descending Toward a Crescent Moon

Crewed missions and their parent programs whose defining purpose was landing or returning humans to the Moon, spanning NASA's Apollo program of the 1960s and 1970s and its 2020s successor Artemis. Belongs here: an individual numbered mission within either program and the program entity itself. Does not belong here: a crewed mission that did not target the Moon, grouped under Early Crewed Spaceflight Milestone Missions or Space Station and Space Shuttle Programs, or a robotic uncrewed lunar mission, grouped under Robotic Lunar Exploration Missions.
