On June 19th 2013 a news report in Nature published results of a revised estimate of the distance (42.1 instead of 37 km) covered by Lunkhod 2. See references below: [1]
The methods used for this revision are sound and published in Scientific Journals [2]
The old estimate of 37 km should now be replaced by the new one as suggested by various sources (also check references therein). [3] [4]
The paragraph outlines the new findings in the first two sentences and includes all relevant references:
Lunokhod 2 operated for about 4 months, covered 42.1 km (26.2 mi) of terrain, including hilly upland areas and rilles, and sent back 86 panoramic images and over 80,000 TV pictures.[2][3][4]
Based on wheel rotations Lunokhod 2 was thought to have covered 37 km but Russian scientists at the Moscow State University of Geodesy and Cartography (MIIGAiK) have revised that to an estimated distance of about 42.1 to 42.2 km based on Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) images of the lunar surface.[5][6] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zamonin ( talk) 11:39, July 11, 2013 (UTC)
What does "4850 kg (approx. 4.77 tons)" mean? I thought 4850 kg would exactly equal 4.85 tons.
Does anybody know whether (and if, where) the mentioned TV images can be found? Is there some archive on the web somewhere?
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?
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)
The subtitle on the LRO photo of Lunokhod's path seems wrong. The black arrow indicates Lunokhod's landing site, doesn't it? The crater where it picked up the dust was struck only two days before it fell silent, should be very close to the rover's final position. Aubri ( talk) 14:01, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
Large sections of this article lack inline refs, and there is no bibliography. Chaosdruid ( talk) 11:04, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
