This day in history:

On the 31st July the Ranger 7 Spacecraft arrived at the moon. The spacecraft carried six television cameras. It sent back high-resolution photographs of the lunar surface until its impact in an area between Mare Nubium and Mare Cognitum.
The Ranger series was the first U.S. attempt to obtain close-up images of the lunar surface. The Ranger spacecraft were designed to fly straight down towards the Moon and send images back until the moment of impact.
