Did the Soviet Union ever land on the moon?

The former Soviet Union or Russia did not realize manned landing on the moon.

There was an overloaded man who landed on the moon in the former Soviet Union, but for various reasons, the plan failed or was abandoned. At present, only the United States has achieved manned landing on the moon.

1, from 1958 to 1976, the former Soviet Union launched 24 lunar probes, of which 18 completed the lunar exploration mission. 1September, 959 12, Chang 'e II flew to the moon two days later and made a hard landing on the surface of the moon, becoming the first messenger to reach the moon and realizing the flight from the earth to another celestial body for the first time.

2. In the white-hot space race between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War, the Soviets once took the lead. But unexpectedly, the first man to land on the moon was an American. Just as "Apollo 1 1" astronaut Armstrong took the lead in taking a big step in human history on the moon. 1July 20, 969 -2 1 July 20, 2008, Apollo 1 1 carried three astronauts to the moon, among which Armstrong and Aldrin successfully landed on the moon, realizing the ideal of human beings setting foot on the moon for the first time. Since then, the United States has launched six Apollo spacecraft, five of which were successful. A total of 12 astronauts landed on the moon.

3. Due to fatal design defects, the Soviet plan to land on the moon failed several times in succession, which made the Soviet dream of manned landing on the moon go up in smoke. Since then, they have also launched a satellite around the moon at 1966. However, the N- 1 rocket failed four times in a row, which finally forced the Soviet Union to stop manned landing on the moon. Many years later, a laboratory of Moscow Aeronautical Institute released a set of precious declassified photos about the Soviet manned moon landing program, which showed the main equipment in this failed moon landing program, including the "LK lunar spacecraft" that had never been made public and the lunar lander that had never been used.
