Soviet Lunar Program
Explanation:
On November 17, 1970 the Soviet
Luna 17 spacecraft landed the first
roving remote-controlled robot
on the Moon.
Known as Lunokhod 1, it
weighed just under 2,000 pounds and was designed to operate for 90 days
guided by a 5-person team
at the Deep Space Center near Moscow, USSR,
Planet Earth.
Lunokhod 1 actually toured the lunar
Mare Imbrium (Sea of Rains) for 11 months in
one of the greatest successes of the
Soviet
lunar exploration program.
The futuristic looking eight wheeler
is pictured here in an artist's conception atop its
landing module. Ramps extend from both sides of the
spacecraft allowing an alternative route to
the surface if one side is blocked by boulders.
