Luna 2 and 3 orbited and photographed the moon in 1959
The Russian craft Luna 3 photographed the moon's hidden side for the first time on 7 October 1959, ten years before the first lunar landing. A total of 29 images were taken.
There are three: 1. around the Earth 2. of the illuminated side 3. of the Moon
Yes. It's Luna Diviner.

1. Tidal effect: the moon's gravitational force affects the oceans tides. 2. The earth wobbles slightly on its axis due to the force of the moon on the earth. 3. The earth is very slightly lopsided. 4. Electromagnetic forces between the earth and moon interact with each other, although the moon's magnetic field is very weak in comparison to that of the earth.
Luna 2 and 3 orbited and photographed the moon on 1959
Luna 2 and Luna 3 were launched on September 12, 1959 and October 4 1959 and it started orbit the moon from September 13 1959 and October 6th 1959 respectively.
Luna 1 was a Soviet spacecraft that was launched in 1959. It did not orbit the sun directly, but it was the first spacecraft to reach the vicinity of the moon, passing within 6,000 kilometers of the lunar surface before continuing on into orbit around the sun.
The first successful flyby satellite launch to the Moon was the Soviet Union's Luna 1 mission on January 2, 1959. Luna 1 passed within 5,995 km of the Moon's surface before becoming the first artificial object to orbit the Sun.
Luna 1, the first spacecraft launched by the USSR, did not actually orbit the Moon; instead, it became the first human-made object to reach the vicinity of the Moon. It was launched on January 2, 1959, and successfully impacted near the Moon on January 4, 1959. Although it missed its planned impact point, it marked a significant achievement in space exploration.
The probe that launched on January 2, 1959, is called Luna 1. It was the first spacecraft to reach the vicinity of the Moon and was part of the Soviet Union's Luna program. Luna 1 was intended to impact the Moon but instead entered orbit around the Sun, making it the first human-made object to reach that region of space.
These spacecraft explored the Moon, which is not classed as a planet.

The first man-made lunar satellite was the Soviet probe Luna 1, which was launched on January 2, 1959. It was intended to impact the moon, but instead, it became the first spacecraft to reach heliocentric orbit, making it the first human-made object to leave Earth's orbit.
The first object to reach the moon was the Soviet spacecraft Luna 2, which impacted the moon on September 13, 1959. Luna 2 was part of the Luna program and its primary goal was to impact the moon and send data back to Earth.
The Russian vehicle Luna 2 was the first spacecraft to land on the moon.
