Apollo 7 was the initial Apollo mission that left the ground and utilized the Saturn IB rocket (later missions used the Saturn IVB). The goal of the mission was to test the effectiveness of the newly redesigned command module for a trip to the moon. The mission did not leave earth orbit and unlike all other Apollo missions did not launch with a lunar module.
The Apollo missions were named more or less in order. After Apollo 1 was destroyed in a fire there were no other manned missions until Apollo 7. As such, starting at Apollo 7, the missions were named in order. Apollo 11 was 4th mission after Apollo 7.
Apollo 7 was launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida.
Apollo 1, but the first Apollo to be launched was Apollo 7, a three man spacecraft.
Apollo 7 was to test the new Apollo spacecraft after the fire. Apollo 9 was to test the lunar module in earths orbit.
Yes indeed Apollo 7 was a very successful mission.
