Regarding the conversation on Lunokhod and other Soviet imagery: Don Mitchell's pages have the best coverage of this stuff I've ever seen. I had never seen images from the lunar sample return vehicles before.
It's undoubtably hard to find, but there is a considerably detailed <for the soviets> source on the first Lunokhod. I have a "Joint Publications Research Service" JPRS 54525, 22 November 1971 translated reprint of: "'Lunokhod -1' -- Mobie Lunar Laboratory - USSR -" (punctuation is exact), put out by the Department of Commerce for (to me) unimaginable reasons, instead of a NASA Technical Translation series report. 189 pages with references and really grayish images (bleh.).
The science return from the Lunokhod missions was pretty thin, compared with the American Surveyor Lunar Landers. A large part of that was due to the skill and capability of the science teams on the Surveyor missions, despite the fact that the Surveyors were purely engineering missions. (Surveyors 8 - 14, the science missions, were cancelled because of cost, program delays, and because Apollo was about to fly.) Big university engineering or aerospace libraries may still <should?> still have the JPL Technical Report series publications in the Surveyors, which included 3 volumes: Mission Report, Science Report, and Television Images, for each of the successful missions. I still mentally stick voodoo pins in the jerk who probably borrowed JPL-TR-32-1023 Surveyor 1 Science Results and later claimed to have never borrowed it.
