Scientific paper

The history of Soviet planetary rovers, which were intended for work on the surface of planets and other heavenly bodies, is traced starting with Lunokhod 1, which was designed to survey the Moon. The equipment and methodology of ground tests which simulated lunar conditions--lunar vacuum, gravitation, and soil--are reported. Examples of planetary rovers which followed the Lunokhod program are given. These examples include machines of the following types: wheel walkers; machines that used skiing for locomotion; and two articulated modules. Planet rovers for Venus, Mars, and its satellite Phobos are addressed. The f ocus ison the performance of Marsokhod, the Mars rover.
