Ronnie Walter Cunningham, NASA's third civilian astronaut after Neil Armstrong and Elliot See, was the lunar module pilot who flew Apollo 7, the first crewed mission in NASA's Apollo program. Cunningham, along with astronauts Wally Schirra and Donn Eisele, orbited the Earth for nearly 11 days, performing various tests and experiments to assess the spacecraft's capabilities in low Earth orbit. The mission was crucial in proving the viability of the Apollo spacecraft and paving the way for future lunar missions.
