- Dates are landing dates in UTC. Except for the Apollo program, all soft landings were unmanned.
- Luna 2 was the first man-made object to reach the surface of the Moon (bottom-left). Still frame from a video transmission, taken moments before Neil Armstrong became the first human to step onto the surface of the Moon, at 02:56 UTC on 21 July 1969.
