Luna21-Horz05-1.jpgRover tracks and the far distant walls of LeMonnier Crater130 visiteAfter landing, the Lunokhod-2 took TV images of the surrounding area, then rolled down a ramp to the surface at 01:14 UT on 16 January and took pictures of the Luna 21 Lander and Landing Site. It stopped and charged batteries until 18 January, took more images of the Lander and Landing Site, and then set out over the Moon. The Rover would run during the Lunar Day, stopping occasionally to recharge its batteries via the solar panels. At night the Rover would hibernate until the next sunrise, heated by the radioactive source. Lunokhod-2 operated for about 4 months, covered 37 Km of terrain, including hilly upland areas and rilles, and sent back 86 panoramic images and over 80.000 TV pictures.
Many mechanical tests of the surface, laser ranging measurements and other experiments were completed during this time.

Luna21-E.jpgLuna 21 and Lunokhod 2: a new "Moon-Walk"100 visiteThe Lunar Rover stood 135 cm high and had a mass of 840 Kg. It was about 170 cm long and 160 cm wide and had 8 wheels, each with an independent suspension, motor and brake. The Rover had two speeds: ~1 km/hr and ~2 km/hr.
Lunokhod 2 was equipped with 3 TV cameras, one mounted high on the Rover for navigation, which could return HR images at different rates (3,2; 5,7; 10,9 or 21,1 seconds per frame). These images were used by a five-man team of controllers on Earth who sent driving commands to the Rover in real time.
Power was supplied by a solar panel on the inside of a round hinged lid which covered the instrument bay, which would charge the batteries when opened. A Polonium-210 isotopic heat source was used to keep the Rover warm during the Lunar Nights.
There also were 4 panoramic cameras mounted on the Rover.

Zond-06-03c.jpgLunar Surface from ZOND-6218 visiteCerchiatura Rossa (Sx): si vede una striscia scura (simile ad una landing strip) che si diparte da un rilievo anomalo ed indefinito (in basso, accanto al punto verde).
Può trattarsi di un effetto ottico derivante dalla non buona qualità del frame così come potrebbe essere un photoartifact. O magari, perchè no?, un'effettiva Anomalìa di Superficie.
Cerchiatura Rossa (Dx): evidenziamo un rilievo (un cratere?) decisamente più luminoso dei rilievi circostanti (high albedo?) il quale ci sembra di più essere un qualcosa di sovrapposto al paesaggio piuttosto che una parte di esso.
Valgono comunque, anche in questo caso, le medesime considerazioni svolte in precedenza.
