Summary

[edit]
Description

Lunokhod 1 was a Soviet remote-controlled lunar vehicle which was launched in Luna 17 on the 10th November 1970 and landed in the Sea of Rains on the 17th. Over the next 322 days (11 months) it travelled 6.55 miles and sent back over 20,000 photographs. Amazingly, some 40 years later it proved useful again when its reflector was used for experiments by the Apache Point Observatory Lunar Laser-ranging Operation (APOLLO) team, and three years later by scientists from the Côte d'Azur Observatory. This replica is on display in the Spaceflight Hall (Hall 11) at the Musée de l'air et de l'espace. Le Bourget Airport, Paris, France.
