Illustration of Soviet cosmonauts on the Moon. The cosmonaut at left has found a pennant left by the Luna 2 spacecraft, the first ever to reach the lunar surface, on 12 September 1959. During the space race with the USA, the USSR launched several uncrewed spacecraft to explore the Moon, achieving several notable firsts. There were 15 successful Luna missions, but none of them were crewed.
