Over 40 years ago, the Russians landed their 'Lunokhod-1 on the surface of the Moon.
The first robotic machine ever, to land on another celestial body.

It travelled around for about 7 miles, sending back thousands of high definition pictures and soil sample info.
Then it got lost.

Now 40 years on NASA has found it.
Its picture looks like something out of Science Fiction.
NASA found that its retro-laser reflector is sending back a stronger signal than they believed possible.
The Russian rover is now redirecting signals from Earth and is being used again......40 years on.
Amazing SF picture and blurb.
