The Surveyor 1 was the first U.S.A. spacecraft to perform a controlled landing on the moon on March 30,1966. It took 11,100 pictures (film not digital) over a six week mission. It was not a manned mission.
The first lunar lander launched by the US was the Surveyor 1, which landed on the Moon on June 2, 1966. Its primary mission was to assess the feasibility of soft landings on the Moon in preparation for the Apollo missions.
The first American craft to soft-land on the moon was the Surveyor lunar probe.The first actual space craft to land on the moon was the Luna 2 made by the Soviet Union in 1959. The first manned ship to land on the moon was the Apollo 11 in 1969.
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.
The only answer I got was apollo, but it did not state what year that happened. Was there a landing on the moon first without it being manned, and later was there the landing with men on board?

Surveyor 1 landed on the moon and was the first US lunar lander.

NASA had two different series of unmanned spacecraft that went to the moon during the 1960's. The first was the "RANGER" program. These crafts were designed to crash into the surface of the moon, sending back pictures up to the very last second before impacting on the surface. There were 7 Ranger spacecraft, the first six all failed. Only ranger 7 made it to the moons surface, impacting on July 3, 1964. The "SURVEYOR" series of scpacecraft were designed to land softly on the moons surface, take pictures and test the moons surface, There were 6 surveyor space craft that all landed successfully on the moon. The first was Surveyor 1 on June 2, 1966. NASA had two different series of unmanned spacecraft that went to the moon during the 1960's. The first was the "RANGER" program.
