The arrival of a spacecraft on the Moon's surface is known as a Moon landing. This applies to both crewed and uncrewed missions. On September 13, 1959, the Soviet Union's Luna 2 became the first human-made object to touch the Moon. On July 20, 1969, the United States' Apollo 11 mission became the first crewed mission to land on the Moon.
