Despite looking like something from Jules Vern or Wild Wild West, the sucker worked very well.
Designed to operate for 3 lunar days (3 months), it actually worked (roved) for 11 months, traveled 10,540 m, transmitted more than 20,000 TV pictures, more than 200 TV panoramas,and also conducted more than 500 lunar soil tests.
Pretty impressive for an EZ-Pop pan.
