Lunokhod 1 (Луноход moon walker in Russian; Аппарат 8ЕЛ № 203 vehicle 8ЕЛ№203) was the first of two unmanned lunar rovers landed on the Moon by the Soviet Union as part of its Lunokhod program. The Luna 17 spacecraft carried Lunokhod 1 to the Moon in 1970. Lunokhod 1 was the first remote-controlled robot rover to freely move across the surface of an astronomical object beyond the Earth.
