Hi everyone,
In a spark of free time I decided to prepare few scenes including soviet union's Lunokhod-1 lunar rover. The rover was modelled and rendered using Cinema 4D, the lunar terrain created thanks to Terragen, then everything put together in Photoshop. Here go some previews and links to FULLHD versions. Hopefully you enjoy it Ofc feel free to download it and use as your new desktop wallpaper Maciej, Poland FULL HD ver: http://imagizer.imageshack.us/a/img923/5052/EGonVS.jpg FULL HD ver: http://imageshack.com/a/img923/839/o3Lxwq.jpg FULL HD ver: http://imageshack.com/a/img924/6623/3xBmAd.jpg FULL HD ver: http://imageshack.com/a/img922/355/9L2wE9.jpg -------------------- iss.astronet.pl

Thanks.
The big resource we have today that was far less accessible in past years is the Apollo surface and flight journal websites with their complete and annotated transcripts on communications. Notably this page: http://history.nasa.gov/ap15fj/20day10_science.htm which describes that day in orbit near the end of the Apollo 15 orbital operations (earlier, Lunokhod was in shadow). The site refers to taking pictures of the area - as I said, for many years they were the best pictures available. But there is no crew comment along the lines you would expect - "wow, that was quite a flash from out there -is that where the Lunokhod is?" Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence... except, here it pretty much is. If anything was seen at that time somebody would have said something. I think the whole story may be a mistranslation or a misunderstanding derived from them seeing (photographing) the location, but never actually seeing anything of the landed hardware. But I will check the post-flight debriefings as well. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.
