The Surveyor program was run by the United States. There were a total of seven craft called 'Surveyor' followed by their number ( 1, 2, 3, etc...).
normally they are unmanned but sometimes they do have people sent up
It was the unmanned spacecraft called Surveyor 1 in 1966.
This question is wrong historically. Many space vehicles were sent without men before any manned vehicles were sent to the Moon. Lunik 1, 2, and 3 from USSR orbited the Moon. Many more Luna craft were launched. USA sent the Ranger vehicles and the Surveyor landers, as well as several Lunar Orbiters. It only seems to one today that manned went before unmanned missions because for the last thirty years or so since the end of the Apollo program, only unmanned missions were sent. It is very dangerous and expensive to send men if the work can be done by robotic craft for less.
The USSR (now called Russia) sent the first unmanned and manned satellites into earth orbit.
Their has been several... Most of them named Apollo #. The Soviet Union had its unmanned Luna program, which was first in 1959. The US also had the unmanned Surveyor program.
A space probe is an unmanned spacecraft sent into space.
The manned missions were carried there by the Apollo craft. The unmanned craft were under the Pioneer, Ranger, and Surveyor missions.
The Soviet Union's unmanned spacecraft Luna 9 was the first man-made probe to make a soft landing on the moon on February 3rd, 1966.
Unmanned space probes have been sent to various destinations in our solar system, including Mars, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. They have also traveled beyond our solar system to study interstellar space.
NASA has sent several unmanned space probes to Saturn, but no manned missions.
No. The Russians have sent unmanned probes, but the only manned missions to the moon were American.
As of now, the United States is the only country that has successfully sent astronauts to the moon. The Apollo program, specifically Apollo 11 in 1969, achieved this historic feat. Other countries, such as the former Soviet Union, have sent unmanned spacecraft to the moon, but no other country has landed humans on the lunar surface.
