For simultaneous translation, hit the “closed caption“ button and then turn on “auto translate.“ This Soviet space program film shows some of the highlights circa 1965, including satellite systems and lunar probes and landers. This includes communications satellites for broadcast of television and radio. At 5:39, a lunar explorer is seen (in animation) headed towards the Moon. A mission involving a lander is seen at 8:15. At 11 minutes, a prototype rover / lander is seen testing. At 18:40, a mission is seen to Mars. The moon rover shown is likely the Lunokhod 1 (Луноход, moon walker in Russian; Аппарат 8ЕЛ № 203, vehicle 8ЕЛ№203). This 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. Lunokhod 0 (), the previous and first attempt to do so, launched in February 1969 but failed to reach orbit. We'd love a translation of this film and more information about it. Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed. For almost two decades, we've worked to collect, scan and preserve the world as it was captured on 35mm, 16mm and 8mm movies -- including home movies, industrial films, and other non-fiction. If you have endangered films you'd like to have scanned, or wish to donate celluloid to Periscope Film so that we can share them with the world, we'd love to hear from you. Contact us via the weblink below. This film is part of the Periscope Film LLC archive, one of the largest historic military, transportation, and aviation stock footage collections in the USA. Entirely film backed, this material is available for licensing in 24p HD, 2k and 4k. For more information visit
