The Soviet Union's Luna 9 spacecraft achieved the first soft landing on the moon on February 3, 1966. It transmitted panoramic images of the moon's surface back to Earth.
The first spacecraft to reach the moon was the Soviet Union's Luna 2, which impacted the lunar surface on September 13, 1959. Luna 2 was an unmanned spacecraft that provided important data about cosmic rays and the moon's environment.
The Russian unmanned spacecraft that landed on the moon was Luna 2. It was the first human-made object to reach the lunar surface in 1959.
The first craft to land on the moon was the Soviet spacecraft Luna 2 in 1959 which impacted the surface. The first successful soft landing on the moon was achieved by the U.S. spacecraft Surveyor 1 in 1966.
The first moon landing spacecraft was called Apollo 11. It was launched by NASA on July 16, 1969, and successfully landed on the Moon on July 20, 1969. Astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin were the first humans to walk on the lunar surface.

One reason why landing a spacecraft on the moon takes careful planning is that the moon move along its own path (its own orbit).One reason why landing a spacecraft on the moon takes careful planning is that the moon always moves along its own orbit.
