A spacecraft that is not designed to land is typically referred to as an orbital spacecraft or satellite. These vehicles are intended to operate in space and remain in orbit around a celestial body without landing on its surface. Examples include communication satellites, weather satellites, and space telescopes.

a spacecraft is anything from satellites to shuttles.
The first spacecraft to land on the moon was the Soviet Union's Luna 2 in 1959. It was an unmanned spacecraft that crash-landed on the moon's surface.
A spacecraft is a general term referring to any vehicle designed for travel or operation in outer space, including satellites and probes. A spaceship specifically refers to a spacecraft designed to carry humans. So, all spaceships are spacecraft, but not all spacecraft are spaceships.

The first spacecraft designed for two people was the Gemini spacecraft developed by NASA as part of the Gemini program in the 1960s. Gemini missions were intended to test spacecraft capabilities for future Apollo missions to the moon.
Mars
A space shuttle does not land on the moon; it is designed to land back on Earth. When sending missions to the moon, specialized spacecraft such as lunar landers are used for landing and taking off from the lunar surface. These spacecraft are designed specifically for the moon's unique conditions.
No, a spacecraft did not land on Mars in 1962. The first successful Mars landing took place with the Soviet spacecraft Mars 3 in 1971.
No, the space shuttle was not designed to land on the moon. It was designed for missions in low Earth orbit and did not have the capability for a lunar landing. The Apollo program used specialized spacecraft to land on the moon.
