Synthesis

Astronauts landed on the Moon six times between the years 1969 and 1972. These successful lunar landings occurred during NASA's Apollo program. The missions that achieved a lunar landing were Apollo 11 and Apollo 12 in 1969, Apollo 14 and Apollo 15 in 1971, and Apollo 16 and Apollo 17 in 1972. Apollo 13 was intended to land on the Moon in 1970, but the mission was aborted. This abort occurred due to an in-flight explosion, specifically an oxygen tank explosion, and the crew of Apollo 13 returned safely to Earth.
