On November 10, 1970, an automatic station Luna-17 was launched to the Moon to land a moon rover Lunokhod-1 on the Earth's closest neighbour. The self-propelled machine then managed to pass a few hundred metres before it spent its energy resources. The experiment for the first time proved that it was possible to make mobile automatic research laboratories for researching other planets.
