Luna17_Lander.jpgLuna 17 Lander from atop (small)78 visiteAn amazing spacecraft gently settled to the lunar surface on 17 November 1970. It carried the first successful robotic lunar rover -- Lunokhod 1. For the next ten months the rover was driven by operators in the Soviet Union, with the total distance traveled exceeding 10 km. For comparison, in six years of operation the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity has traveled about 12 km.
After landing, the rover drove down a ramp onto the lunar surface and tested its eight wheels. The rover was driven by solar power during the day; at night it parked and relied on thermal energy from a polonium-210 radioisotope heater to survive the cold (-150°C).
The intrepid rover sent back valuable data concerning the composition of the regolith (soil), close up views of the local topography, and important engineering measurements of the regolith.
Note: Soviet Robotic Lander Luna 17 still sitting on Mare Imbrium where it delivered the Lunokhod 1 Rover in November 1970. MareKromium

Luna17-Photomosaic-001a.jpgRover Tracks and Lunar Panorama68 visiteDirettamente dagli Archivi del Lunar and Planetary Institute (L&PI), una serie di frames CCCP Originali relativi alle Missioni "Luna 17" e "Luna 21".
La qualità delle immagini, considerata l'età delle pellicole usate per le digitalizzazioni, è la migliore possibile e noi non possiamo far altro che ringraziare ancora una volta - e pubblicamente - il Lunar and Planetary Institute per la competenza, sensibilità e cortesia da sempre dimostrate (attraverso i Suoi Funzionari) e sempre avute nei confronti di Lunar Explorer Italia (che da anni può "liberamente" attingere il Materiale reputato interessante, direttamente dal loro Server).
Grazie di Cuore e Buona Passeggiata Lunare!MareKromium
