Have the Russians landed on the moon?

Answer 1

Yes. they have launched 32 lunar landing missions, 24 of them have failed and 8 have ben sucsesfull. But onley 2 of theme have soft landed. But none of them where maned they tried it many times but failed every time so they just stoped trying to launch maned missions to the moon. :)

Answer 2

The Soviet lunar program began before the Americans got their first rockets off the ground and ended four year after the last Apollo lunar mission. The Soviets suffered several failures in their missions, however, they did reach the moon (although only in unmanned vehicles), established several firsts, and returned with lunar samples.

Below is a list of Soviet lunar missions. Included are the launch dates, the development name of the crafts, official names of the craft where applicable, the mission goal(s), and the results of the mission: (bolded missions were considered successful)

By comparison, American lunar missions ran from 27 October 1961 with the SA-1 (first launch of a Saturn 1 rocket) until Apollo 17 was launched 7 December 1972 and splashed down 19 December 1972.

Answer 3

a Robot! No manned Soviet craft have landed on the Moon, at least officially. There was one in the movie Apollo l8, but that"s Science Fiction, and very downbeat Science fiction at that. They could have made some concessions to at least allow one member of the A-l8 crew to survive ( such as the orbital observer , who did not actually land on the Moon, and he had the Command module.)

Answer 4

No native born Russian astronaut has every gone to the moon. .All Russian lunar probes were unmanned.

Answer 5

The Russians didn't land on the Moon, it was the Americans in 1969

Answer 6

the russians never landed on the moon but did successfully land a probe

Answer 7

The former USSR landed hardware in the form of unmanned spacecraft on the Moon
several times, but no Russian cosmonaut has ever yet landed on the Moon.

Answer 8

Because it was cautious.
