10.  Apollo 9, was the third manned mission in the United States Apollo
space program and the first flight of the Command/Service
Module(CSM) with the Lunar Module (LM). Its three-person crew,
consisting of Commander James McDivitt, Command Module Pilot
David Scott, and Lunar Module Pilot Rusty Schweickart, tested
several aspects critical to landing on the Moon, including the LM
engines, backpack life support systems, navigation systems, and
docking maneuvers. The mission was the second manned launch
of a Saturn V rocket.
 After launching on March 3, 1969, the crewmen spent ten days in
low Earth orbit. They performed the first manned flight of a LM, the
first docking and extraction of a LM, two spacewalks, and the
second docking of two manned spacecraft—two months after the
Soviets performed a spacewalk crew transfer between Soyuz4 and
Soyuz 5. The mission proved the LM worthy of manned spaceflight.
Further tests on the Apollo 10 mission would prepare the LM for its
ultimate goal, landing on the Moon.
