The Soviet automatic lunar vehicle 'Luna-9' was launched on 31 January 1966; on 3 February, at 21 hours 45 minutes 30 seconds Moscow time this station carried out a successful soft landing on the surface of the moon. On that same day, at 21 hours 49 minutes 40 seconds, history's first moon-to-earth radio communication session took place, followed on 4 February, at 4 hours 50 minutes, by the commencement of the transmission to earth of the first images of the lunar landscape.
