Mare Imbrium
The spacecraft soft-landed on the Moon in the Mare Imbrium ("Sea of Rains") on November 17 at 03:47 UTC. It landed in western Mare Imbrium, about 60 km south of the Promontorium Heraclides. The lander had dual ramps from which the payload, "Lunokhod 1", could descend to the lunar surface. At 06:28 UTC the rover moved onto the Moon's surface.
