Objects at greater than 90 degrees east or west are on the far side of the Moon, including Ranger 4, Lunar Orbiter 1, Lunar Orbiter 2, Lunar Orbiter 3, Chang'e 4 lander and Yutu-2 rover. Because of increasing numbers of missions to and objects at the Moon, a global registry of lunar activities has been proposed in 2023 by the Open Lunar ...
Luna 9 (Луна-9), internal designation Ye-6 No.13, was an uncrewed space mission of the Soviet Union's Luna programme. On 3 February 1966, the Luna 9 spacecraft became the first spacecraft to achieve a soft landing on the Moon and return imagery from its surface.
A Gemtech Outback suppressor mounted on a Walther P22. Outback: The Outback was a "thread-on" suppressor for handguns and rifles chambered in .22 lr. [9] Quantum-200: The Quantum-200 was a .22 lr suppressor designed and sold in the 1990s. [10] Vortex-2: The Vortex-2 was a .22 lr muzzle suppressor designed for handguns or rifles. [10] [11]

Images taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter mission beginning in July 2009 show the six Apollo Lunar Module descent stages, Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package (ALSEP) science experiments, astronaut footpaths, and lunar rover tire tracks. These images are the most effective proof to date to rebut the "landing hoax" theories.
Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) is a NASA program to hire companies to send small robotic landers and rovers to the Moon.Most landing sites are near the lunar south pole [1] [2] where they will scout for lunar resources, test in situ resource utilization (ISRU) concepts, and perform lunar science to support the Artemis lunar program.
Luna 4 also discovered that the Earth's geomagnetic tail seeped out at least as far as lunar orbit. [8] Luna 4's path appears to have been perturbed such that it now orbits the Sun rather than the Earth. [1] The Ye-6 program was ultimately successful, with the 12th in the series, Luna 9, landing on the Moon on 3 February 1966. [3]: 373
[23] [24]: 2-9 It was capable of measuring gravity to 1 part in 10 5. [24]: 2-9 The mass was adjustable through the addition or removal of weights which would allow the experiment to both be tested in Earth gravity to prove out its functionality, and also be operated in lunar gravity without modification to the device.
