What does "4850 kg (approx. 4.77 tons)" mean? I thought 4850 kg would exactly equal 4.85 tons.

There are nonmetric tons as well as metric ones - clarified. Dysprosia 07:32, 11 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Does anybody know whether (and if, where) the mentioned TV images can be found? Is there some archive on the web somewhere?

Just what is in the external links of the Lunokhod pages... About 5 images total, I think. Perhaps someone who can read Russian might find something more on the Internet. Ricnun 14:24, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Some time ago, I found a website where some of the original image data was run through modern computer processing to recover all of the original data. The data was stored on magnetic tape at full quality, but the methods used originally to produce viewable images could not reproduce the full quality. I just tried a search on google for lunokhod data processing and was unable to find that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bizzybody (talk • contribs) 06:14, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Landing and surface operations

In the third paragraph in the section "Landing and surface operations", the first sentence reads:

"After stopped and charging batteries until, it takes more images of the lander and landing site, and then sets out over the Moon."

This sentence is not grammatically correct. Not knowing what the author's original intent was, I am hesitant to change it. Does anyone know how this sentence should read?

I think it means that the rover descended from its landing vehicle, charged batteries, took images of the lander and landing site and then started its explorations. Ricnun 14:24, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Not quite correct

Understandable, but the image shown is not quite correct. See Phil Stooke's correction at http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.php?showtopic=6514. According to Phil Stooke, the dark circle is actually where the radiator accident occurred and not the final location. We may have to wait for the media to produce corrections so that wikipedia can cite them. -84user (talk) 18:32, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
