Surveyor 1
The first successful lunar lander launch by the United States was the Apollo 11 mission, which took place on July 16, 1969. The Lunar Module, named "Eagle," successfully landed on the Moon on July 20, 1969, allowing astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin to become the first humans to walk on the lunar surface. This mission marked a significant achievement in space exploration and fulfilled the goal set by President John F. Kennedy to land a man on the Moon before the end of the 1960s.
It proved a soft landing was possible, and that the lunar surface would support the weight of a lander. There was some concern the lunar surface might be of such thick and fluffy dust as to allow a lander to sink into it.
The name of the rocket that launched the first people on the moon was a Saturn V, on mission Apollo 11.
The lunar rover was first used on the Apollo mission 15.
The first rocket launched by the US was launched at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico on July 24, 1946. It was a V-2 rocket captured from Germany after World War II and launched as part of post-war experimentation.
