Soviet Moon Images

Russian probes returned the first images of the Lunar far side and the first images from the Lunar surface. While a manned landing was never accomplished, the final phase of Soviet exploration included a number of impressive robotic missions, returning samples and roving the surface.

The adventure has just begun.

Keep us posted.

Lunokhod programme
>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lunokhod (Russian for "Moon walker") 1 and 2 were a pair of unmanned lunar rovers landed on the Moon by the Soviet Union. They were in operation conterminously with the Zond series of flyby missions. The Lunokhod missions were primarily designed to explore the surface and return pictures. This complemented the Luna series of missions that were intended to be sample return missions and orbiters. They were designed by NPO Lavochkin.

LUNA 21/LUNOKHOD 2

The Russian lunar space probe lander/rover was active in le Monnier (upper left), a flooded crater with a very dark floor which forms a small bay in Mare Serenitatis. Le Monnier is 61 km wide and 2400 meters deep and straddles both Sections 25 and 24.
