This is a list of designs for crewed lunar landers, spacecraft intended to land on the Moon.A key aspect is achieving a soft landing, and for an ascent stage to successfully escape the Moon's gravity. [1]
Lunar Module Antares: Lander/Launch Vehicle: Success Third crewed lunar landing. 83: Apollo 15: Apollo 15: 26 July 1971: Saturn V: NASA: Orbiter: Success Lunar Module Falcon: Lander/Launch Vehicle: Success Lunar Roving Vehicle: Rover: Success Fourth crewed lunar landing, and first to use the Lunar Roving Vehicle. 84: PFS-1: PFS-1: 26 July 1971 ...
Surveyor 7 was sent to the Moon in 1968 on a scientific and photographic mission as the seventh and last lunar lander of the American uncrewed Surveyor program.With two previous unsuccessful missions in the Surveyor series, and with Surveyor 7's landing success, Surveyor 7 became the fifth and final spacecraft in the series to achieve a lunar soft landing.
bring the lander from Earth parking orbit to pre-landing 100 km (62 mi) lunar orbit and study the spectral and polarimetric measurements of Earth from the lunar orbit. The spacecraft entered lunar orbit on 5 August, and India became the first country to touch down near the lunar south pole , at 69°S, the southernmost lunar landing on 23 August ...
The Chandrayaan-2 mission launched on July 22, 2019, exactly 50 years after the Apollo 11 mission and two years before it captured images of the 1969 lunar landers.
Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) is a NASA program to hire companies to send small robotic landers and rovers to the Moon.Most landing sites are near the lunar south pole [1] [2] where they will scout for lunar resources, test in situ resource utilization (ISRU) concepts, and perform lunar science to support the Artemis lunar program.
The Odysseus lander, built by Houston-based Intuitive Machines, landed on the moon on Feb. 22, making history as the first commercial craft to reach the lunar surface and the first U.S. spacecraft ...
A total of 30,027 images were transmitted to Earth. This spacecraft is the fourth of the Surveyor series to successfully achieve a soft landing on the Moon, obtain post landing television pictures, determine the abundance of the chemical elements in the lunar soil, obtain touchdown dynamics data, obtain thermal and radar reflectivity data, and ...
