In the 1960s the Russians had a secret program to land a cosmonaut on the moon. Problems with project and the subsequent success of the American Apollo program resulted in abandonment of the Russian Program. This series of renderings examines what might have been. As the LK Lunar Lander touches down on the lunar surface, the main engine shuts down and the "nesting" rockets fire to stabilize the lander and press it into the lunar soil. The lander was designed to be stabile on a 30-degree slope. The lander is my LK figure. The rockets exhaust are Jepe's FlameZ from DAZ. The cosmonaut, almost visible in the landing window is M4, wearing a modified version of the DAZ M3 Spacesuit. The moon is Moonscapes, also from DAZ, and the sky is modified from Flink's Stars. The scene was composed and rendered in Poser 11 with minor post-processing in Corel Photo Paint.
