Luna 2
, originally named the Second Soviet Cosmic Rocket and nicknamed Lunik 2 in contemporaneous media, was the sixth of the Soviet Union’s Luna programme spacecraft launched to the Moon on 12 September 1959 following a direct path to the Moon. In addition to the radio transmitters sending telemetry information back to Earth, the spacecraft released a sodium gas cloud so the spacecraft’s movement could be visually observed. On 13 September 1959, it impacted the Moon’s surface. It was the first spacecraft to reach the surface of the Moon, and the first human-made object to make contact with another celestial body.
