The first spacecraft to orbit the moon was the Soviet Union's Luna 10, which achieved lunar orbit on April 3, 1966. Luna 10 returned valuable data about the moon's magnetic field and radiation environment during its mission.
Spacecraft were sent to the moon to study the lunar surface, conduct experiments in a low-gravity environment, and further our understanding of the moon's geology and history. Additionally, missions like the Apollo program aimed to demonstrate human exploration beyond Earth's orbit.
In 1959, the Soviet Luna 1 spacecraft was launched on a mission to explore the moon. It was the first spacecraft to reach the vicinity of the moon and made important contributions to our understanding of space exploration.
A total of 101 missions have been launched to the Moon by various countries since the 1950s. These missions include both orbiters and landers that have been sent to study the Moon's surface, geology, and composition.
