What was the name of the unmanned ship that landed on the moon?

NASA had two different series of unmanned spacecraft that went to the moon during the 1960's. The first was the "RANGER" program. These crafts were designed to crash into the surface of the moon, sending back pictures up to the very last second before impacting on the surface. There were 7 Ranger spacecraft, the first six all failed. Only ranger 7 made it to the moons surface, impacting on July 3, 1964. The "SURVEYOR" series of scpacecraft were designed to land softly on the moons surface, take pictures and test the moons surface, There were 6 surveyor space craft that all landed successfully on the moon. The first was Surveyor 1 on June 2, 1966. NASA had two different series of unmanned spacecraft that went to the moon during the 1960's. The first was the "RANGER" program.
