Lunar Roving Vehicle, type of battery-powered four-wheeled rover used on the Moon in the last three missions of the American Apollo program
The Lunar Roving Vehicle is a crewed spacecraft that was used to explore the Moon's surface and measures approximately 3.1 meters in length. It was specifically designed to help astronauts travel across the lunar landscape and conduct scientific investigations over wider areas.
The vehicle was developed and deployed for multiple Moon missions during the 1970s. It represented a major breakthrough in crewed spaceflight by allowing astronauts to explore much greater distances across the lunar surface.
The display is accessible within a museum setting and offers a good view of its construction and functioning mechanics. The informational panels help visitors understand the technical details and its significance in spaceflight history.
The vehicle was entirely open with no cabin protecting astronauts from the harsh lunar environment. Despite these extreme conditions, it enabled crews to conduct experiments and collect samples that transformed our understanding of the Moon.
