NASA built trucks for driving on other planets
The US space agency NASA продемонстрировало prototype of a new vehicle Modular Robotic Vehicle, developed in conjunction with leading automotive companies. MRV was created to operate in harsh environments of other planets, such as Mars.
MRV visually resembles golf cars. It works on electric motors on batteries. All four wheels move independently, and can be rotated 180 °, which adds to the vehicle maneuverability. Maximum speed is about 64 km / h, although at the moment it is capped at 24 km / h. Weighs about 900 kg, and dimensions - 2.13h1.52 m.
The basis of this electric vehicle four motors, one for each wheel equipped with a liquid cooling system. The most important achievement of the engineers was the possibility of remote control MRV, with the operator, who will remotely control the vehicle will experience a dynamic relationship with him.
You can see all this for yourself in NASA released the official video.
