Neither Russian, nor lunar, nor a vehicle.
It's Soviet, and Venusian, and lander.
I never knew we had venus rovers.
First time hearing about it. Am I simply uninformed or is this some leaked top secret stuff?
Quoting: Brazilian Coward 50177312 Not rovers.
And simply uninformed.
Second picture is not from the Russian mission, is from NASA.
Quoting: Ford Prefect Wrong, second pic is holding a polar orbit, and was long long long before nasa was invented.
Quoting: <<orbs>> Not possible.
The object shows up in the following images:
STS088-724-65: [

STS088-724-67: [

STS088-724-68: [

STS088-724-69: [

STS088-724-70: [

Since the object shows up on more than one frame it can't be moving very fast in relation to the ISS/
Endeavour, IOW its orbit closely matches the ISS's.
The object is slightly out of focus while the Earth's surface isn't. The camera focus is set to infinity and the object must be relatively close, ergo it is small.
An EVA and construction work had been performed that day.
The most parsimonious explanation for the object is that it is something that come off the ISS or the
Endeavour.
Which continent is it over, in the picture?
Quoting: Maximus Shillingus Apparently Africa.
