Luna 1 

Luna 1

(TFS) - Luna 1, also known as Mechta (Russian: Мечта, lit.: Dream), E-1 No.4 and First Lunar Rover , was the first spacecraft to reach the vicinity of the Earth's Moon, and the first spacecraft to be placed in heliocentric orbit.

 Intended as an impactor, Luna 1was launched as part of the Soviet Luna programme in 1959, however due to an incorrectly timed upper stage burn during its launch, it missed the Moon; in the process becoming the first spacecraft to leave geocentric orbit.

Luna 2

Luna 2

Luna 2 (E-1A series) or Lunik 2 was the second of the Soviet Union's Luna programme spacecraft launched to the Moon. It was the first spacecraft to reach the surface of the Moon, and the first man-made object to land on another celestial body.

 On September 13, 1959, it successfully impacted east of Mare Imbrium near the craters Aristides, Archimedes, and Autolycus.

Luna 3

Luna 3

Luna 3, or E-2A No.1 was a Soviet spacecraft launched in 1959 as part of the Luna
programme.

It was the first-ever mission to photograph the far side of the Moon. It was also the
 third space probe to be sent to the neighborhood of the Moon.

Though it returned rather poor pictures by later standards, the historic, never-before-seen
views of the far side of the Moon caused excitement and interest when they were
 published around the world, and a tentative Atlas of the Far Side of the Moon was
created after image processing improved the pictures.

Luna 15

Lune 15

On July 13, 1969, the Soviet Union launched its Luna 15 spacecraft on a mission to the moon. 

Luna 15 was a robotic sample return mission sent to retrieve some lunar soil and bring it
 back to Earth.

It launched just three days before Apollo 11, which brought the first astronauts to the lunar

surface.

Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin beat actually Luna 15 to the moon by about 20 hours.
Talk about a space race! Just a few minutes after the Soviet spacecraft began its descent on
 July 21, Luna 15 unexpectedly crashed into a mountain and stopped transmitting data
 back to mission control.

Luna 16

Luna 16 was an unmanned space mission, part of the Soviet Luna program.

Luna 16 was the first robotic probe to land on the Moon and return a sample of lunar soil to Earth after five unsuccessful similar attempts.

The sample was returned from Mare Fecunditatis.
 It represented the first lunar sample return mission by the Soviet Union and was the third lunar sample return mission overall, following the Apollo 11 and Apollo 12 missions.
