NASA’s tests Lunar Electric Rover on simulated 14-day mission
Posted on 2009 under Digital News |20 Sep
NASA just took its fancy Lunar Electric Rover for a spin around the Black Point Lava Flow in Arizona for a bit of simulated moon exploration. The 14 day mission had a couple of crew members holed up inside the vehicle for the duration, proving the suitability of the vehicle for such a lengthy jaunt — and providing for a good amount of Odd Couple-esque hijinks inside, to be sure. The LER also managed to track down “lost” crew members in a trial to test out the navigation systems of the rover, and docked with a habitation module mounted on the ATHLETE vehicle. Sounds like a real party down there!
