The first rover to successfully work on another celestial body's surface was Moonrover Lunokhod-1, Apparatus 8EL #203. It operated on the Moon from November 17, 1970, to September 14, 1971. This Soviet remote-controlled self-propelled vehicle belonged to the Lunokhod series for lunar exploration (project E-8). Working on the Moon for eleven days (10.5 months on Earth), it traveled 10,540 meters. The Soviet interplanetary station Luna-17 delivered Lunokhod-1 to the Moon on November 17, 1970. Its mission was to study the lunar surface's characteristics, as well as radioactive and X-ray cosmic radiation on the moon. It also aimed to analyze the chemical composition and properties of the soil. Lunokhod-1 had a mass of 756 kg, with dimensions of 4.42 m in length (including an open solar battery), 2.15 m in width, and 1.92 m in height. Its wheels were 510 mm in diameter, 200 mm wide, and had a wheel base of 1700 mm, while the track width was 1600 mm. Models requiring smoothing without collapsing should adjust TurboSmooth's iteration level. When saving OBJ files with TurboSmooth enabled, set it to 1. This setting is compatible with MAX 2015, 2012 (Vray 3.6 and Corona 2), as well as OBJ files saved with the same settings.
