Of course, a mechanical or electronic failure is likely to end the mission long before the RTG wears out (same as on Curiosity)

A quick finder image sequence. The name of the hill, apparently just visible on the horizon in one view, is informal. Hills were formerly named from a nearby crater plus a Greek letter, and a few are still in use (Hansteen Alpha, for instance, and the only really official one, Hadley Delta), and those names are on the Apollo-era maps, but they are not official today (a mistake in my opinion).

Phil The hill is 20km away and at a height of 500m from the surface but they are still visible.. (After seeing these images I believe Luna9 might be 30 ~ 40 kms away from Planitia Descensus & the hills seen on it might be very well Planitia Descensus itself) now working on to enhance the landing image from LROC |
