No lunar missions were launched in this decade. Successful studied Moon while en route to Mercury By combining LROC imagery, data, and historical data, weve created detailed, interactive maps of the Apollo Landing Sites and many more. NASA's interactive map for observing the Moon each day of the year. Successful longest-lived rover on the Moon, drove 24 miles (39 kilometers) Explore the Moonlanding sites, landscapes, rock samples, and more Interactives. Successful delivered Lunokhod 2 rover to the surface of the Moon Successful first scientist on the Moon and final Apollo mission Partial Success orbit decayed prematurely Successful deployed in lunar orbit by Apollo 15 crew Successful first robotic rover to explore the surface of a world beyond Earth Show only Left Show only Right This interactive shows two LRO images of the Apollo 17 landing site. Images show the twists and turns of the paths made when the astronauts explored the lunar surface. Successful delivered Lunokhod 1 rover to the surface of the Moon NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) captured the sharpest images ever taken from space of the Apollo 12, 14 and 17 landing sites. Successful first robotic sample return from beyond Earth. Unsuccessful crew returned safely to Earth. analysis of the moons terrains to determine their suitability for spacecraft landings. Successful rendezvous with Surveyor 3 on the surface of the moon.Īpollo 17 astronaut Harrison Schmitt, Apollo 17 collects lunar rake samples at the Taurus-Littrow landing site. The USAF also began lunar mapping using Earth-based telescopes. Successful first humans to land on the Moon The Apollo 11 descent stage, which the astronauts left behind on the lunar surface, is visible, along with the trails made by the astronauts' footprints. Partial success orbiter successful, sample return crashed on the Moon The Apollo 11 landing site, as imaged by the LROC camera aboard NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft, decades after the first Moon landing. Apollo 11 (July 1624, 1969) was the American spaceflight that first landed humans on the Moon. Partial success animal cargo lost on landing. Successful f irst living creatures to fly past the Moon Successful visited on the Moon by Apollo 12 crew. Successful first lunar soft landing and first picture from the lunar surface examines the robotic Surveyor 3 spacecraft during his second extravehicular activity (EVA) on the Moon on 20 November 1969. Successful first pictures of the lunar farside.Īpollo 12 commander Charles Conrad Jr. This image shows the locations of many spacecraft that have landed on the moon. Successful first spacecraft to impact the Moon's surface The map above, based on an LROC global image mosaic, is a near-copy of that historic map. The map was based on photographs taken using large Earth-based telescopes. James Van Allen inspect components of the Pioneer IV spacecraft on March 1, 1959. In 1969, NASA published a map showing candidate Apollo 11 and Apollo 12 landing sites.
