The DY-50 craft were Earth's first modern interplanetary spacecraft, though neither were actually operated (nor designed) to transit even to Luna. Instead, the People's Republic of China (PRC) built the vessels as flight-worthy feasibility studies and successfully proved their viability, leading directly to the DY-100 series.
