Encyclopedia > Lunokhod program

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 complimented the Luna series of missions that were intended to be sample return missions and orbiters. They were designed by NPO Lavochkin.
