First spacecraft to orbit the moon: Luna 10 (1966)
The Soviet Union's Luna 10 achieved two major milestones in 1966, becoming the first satellite to orbit anybody but Earth — and also becoming the first satellite to orbit the moon.
The spacecraft measured the moon's magnetic field, radiation environment, gravity field and other metrics. A gamma ray spectrometer gathered compositional information about the moon's surface, showing a lot of basalt.
Only two years later, in late 1968, the first satellite (spacecraft) with humans on board orbited the moon — NASA's Apollo 8. The first human moon landing, Apollo 11, followed on July 20, 1969.
Now you can have your own satellite! They are based on real, current and historical satellites, probes and rockets. Everything related to space exploration!
Each one is unique and handmade with care and love.
On each satellite page you can find a description to know more about it. PixelArt for the Science!
