Parked by the front door. The Lunar Rover sits by Orion, the Lunar Module during Apollo 16, Apr 1972. The crew of John Young, Charlie Duke & Ken Mattingly experienced many glitches on the way to the moon culminating in concerns in the main engine. Mission Control had considered aborted the entire landing until it was decided the issues could be overcome. Still, as a result of these concerns, the mission ended 1 day earlier than planned.

Pragyan rover (2023) by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). Chandrayaan-3 is India’s third lunar mission, and the first space mission to land near the south pole of the Moon. The Vikram lander touched down on the lunar surface on 23rd August 2023. Inside the lander is the six-wheeled Pragyan rover, which is planned roam the lunar surface, exploring permanently shadowed craters that may hold frozen water. Pragyan, meaning 'wisdom' in Sanskrit, is painted in the colours of the Tiranga, the national flag of India. It drives at a speed of one centimetre per second, and is planned to cover a total distance of half a kilometre during its 14 earth day, or 1 lunar day, mission. Instruments include a Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscope (LIBS) that fires laser pulses at various targets to analyse the resulting plasma, and an Alpha Particle Induced X-ray Spectroscope (APIXS). The photos show the Pragyan rover successfully disembarking from the Vikram lander onto the lunar surface.
