The first probe to extensively map the surface of the moon was the Lunar Orbiter program, specifically Lunar Orbiter 1 launched by NASA in 1966. It captured detailed images of potential landing sites for future manned missions, contributing to the Apollo program's success in landing astronauts on the moon.
China's first lunar probe landed on the moon in a controlled collision, this was the first phase of that nation's three-stage moon mission. The second stage involved sending a second probe to practice soft landings. The mission will culminate with the launch and landing of a rover on the moon to collect mineral samples in 2012. The probe -- Chang'e-1, named after a legendary moon goddess -- launched into space on October 24, 2007.
The US landed the Viking probe.
There was no moon landing in 1994, the final moon landing occurred in December, 1972.
The Cassini-Huygens mission was launched to the Saturnian System on October 15th, 1997. The probe that landed on the moon Titan was named Huygens, the orbiter was named Cassini. Huygens entered Titan's atmosphere On January 14, 2005 at 9:06 UTC. Huygens landed at 11:24, on the same day.
The moon landing was never faked at all.
The Soviets launched a series of Luna probes that took the first pictures of the far side of the Moon. In 1966, Luna 9 made the first successful landing on the Moon and sent back television footage from the Moon's surface.
