Kuukäyntiennätys

Kuukäyntiennätys refers to the record for the most visits to the Moon. As of now, this record is held by the United States, which has sent astronauts to the Moon on multiple occasions during the Apollo program. The Apollo missions, which ran from 1969 to 1972, saw a total of six successful crewed landings on the lunar surface. These missions represent the entirety of human expeditions to the Moon to date.

The Soviet Union also conducted lunar missions, including uncrewed landings and sample return missions, but did not land humans on the Moon. Other nations and private entities are developing plans for future lunar missions, which could potentially challenge the existing record. The term kuukäyntiennätys is a Finnish compound word, with "kuu" meaning Moon, "käynti" meaning visit, and "ennätys" meaning record. Therefore, it directly translates to "Moon visit record." The historical significance of these missions is immense, marking a pivotal moment in human exploration and scientific endeavor.
