Friday, November 14, 2008 = India reached Moon =

Bangalore: India's maiden moon probe crashed on to the lunar surface at 8.31 p.m. Friday, sending a wealth of data to its mother spacecraft Chandrayaan-1 during the 25 minutes of its useful life. India became the fourth country to send a probe to the moon.

The moon impact probe (MIP), which has the Indian tricolour painted on its four sides, will remain for all time to come on the Shackleton Crater region of the lunar south pole. It will never corrode due to the lack of atmosphere on the moon.

The first man made satellite that orbited the moon was Luna 10 from Russia.

Launch date March 31 1966 it went into orbit on April 3rd 1966

Last contact with it was May 30th of the same year

BUT

If you discount the Apollo missions, which were manned flights.

Believe it or not it took another 40 years before man sent a permanent satellite to orbit the moon. This was done by Japan in October 2007.

The Satellite is called Kaguya.

China followed less than 1 month later 5th November 2007 with the Chang'E1.

Other Countries including India, Russia and the USA have sent or plan to send more satellites to the moon.

I presume that you meant, "the first ARTIFICIAL satellite", because the Moon - Earth's NATURAL satellite - has been there for a bit over 4 billion years or so.

The first artificial satellite was the Soviet Union's "Sputnik" in 1957.
