Lunokhod 1 was a lunar vehicle formed of a tub-like compartment with a large convex lid on eight independently powered wheels.
Lunokhod was equipped with a cone-shaped antenna, a highly directional helical antenna, four television cameras, and special extendable devices to impact the lunar soil for soil density and mechanical property tests.

The primary objectives of the mission were to collect images of the lunar surface, examine ambient light levels to determine the feasibility of astronomical observations from the Moon, perform laser ranging experiments from Earth, observe solar X-rays, measure local magnetic fields, and study mechanical properties of the lunar surface material.
Landing occurred at 23:35 UT in LeMonnier crater at 25.85 degrees N, 30.45 degrees E. The lander carried a bas relief of Lenin and the Soviet coat of arms.
The Lunokhod was not left in a position such that the laser retroreflector could be used indicating that the failure may have happened suddenly.

 Lunokhod 2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lunokhod 2 was equipped with three television cameras, one mounted high on the rover for navigation, which could return high resolution images at different rates - 3.2, 5.7, 10.9 or 21.1 seconds per frame (not frames per second).
Landing occurred at 23:35 UT in Le Monnier crater at 25.85 degrees N, 30.45 degrees E. The lander carried a bas relief of Lenin and the Soviet coat of arms.
Lunokhod 2 operated for about 4 months, covered 37 km (23 miles) of terrain including hilly upland areas and rilles, and sent back 86 panoramic images and over 80,000 TV pictures.

Lunokhod 2 is the second of two unmanned lunar rovers landed on the Moon by the Soviet Union as part of the Lunokhod program.
After landing, the Lunokhod 2 took TV images of the surrounding area, then rolled down a ramp to the surface at 01:14 UT on January 16 and took pictures of the Luna 21 lander and landing site.
On June 4 it was announced that the program was completed, leading to speculation that the vehicle probably failed in mid-May or could not be revived after the lunar night of May-June.

Lunar Laser Ranging is still conducted with the Lunokhod 2 reflector by the " Observatoire de Côte d'Azur " in the south-east of France or the McDonald Observatory in Texas.
The Lunokhod 1 laser reflector is not working anymore, several reasons can explain this fact : the lunokhod 1 may not be parked properly (the retroreflector is not pointing the Earth anymore), the lid may be closed or the lunokhod 1 location is not known with enough precision to name a few.
Once this done the laser retroreflector was finally assembled onto the lunokhod with the last rods of the support structure (figures 15).

There are two types of cameras, the front cameras that are used to "drive" the lunokhod and the side cameras that were used to take pictures and panoramas around the lunokhod.
In the original Lunokhod 1 there were only the low height cameras but it was found that for certain obstacles a view of a standing-up driver would be helpful which is the reason for the third camera.
The Lunokhod has two types of cameras, the front side that are used for piloting the rover, and side cameras that are used for taking still pictures and panoramas of the Moon.

Lunokhod 1 was successfully ranged during its maneuvering phase, but has not been seen since—likely due to a poor parking job.
Lunokhod 2 is still used, though the large size of the cubes makes them more susceptible to thermal distortions, so that the return is about 30 times weaker in lunar daylight than in lunar night.
