NASA's new concept vehicle set to travel on lunar surface
We are all set to stride on lunar surface in a short while. NASA engineers have come up with a new 'concept car' that might tread on moon very shortly. The concept closely resembles a truck having six giant wheels. The theoretical blueprints developed at Johnson Space Center have been made public. One of its characteristic includes an independent steering which can guide the car to any direction. In conformity with the direction of the truck, the driver’s seat’s capability to rotate itself with the wheels enables the driver not to relocate his body position. The base of the truck can be lowered or lifted with its exclusive suspension system making it extremely convenient to rest on ground.
This allows an astronaut to get in and out of the machine suiting his requirement. There are neither windows nor walls except a retro gold color scheme in this humble machine. Being an archetype, it will be extremely helpful to the astronauts to find their niche on moon making it simple to adapt to the lunar surface. This invention surely is going to open new vistas of human intercourse with the space technology.
