When the Apollo astronauts first landed on the Moon, they couldn’t go far on foot. That’s why the three final missions were equipped with Lunar Roving Vehicles, or Moon buggies, which allowed the astronauts to cover much more ground and do more science. Now that NASA is returning to the Moon by 2024 as part of its Artemis Program, it’s considering a fleet of new vehicles that will help astronauts roam far and wide across the surface of the Moon. 60 fps Apollo Videos from Dutchsteammachinehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRGEIYuo_HbUR6GhFLeEkPAWant to see this video early? https://www.amazon.com/Universe-Today-Ultimate-Viewing-Cosmos/dp/1624145442/Audio Podcast version:ITunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/universe-today-guide-to-space-audio/id794058155?mt=2RSS: https://www.universetoday.com/audioWeekly email newsletter:https://www.universetoday.com/newsletterWeekly Space Hangout:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0-KklSGlCiJDwOPdR2EUcg/Astronomy Cast:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUHI67dh9jEO2rvK--MdCSgSupport us at https://www.patreon.com/universetodayMore stories at https://www.universetoday.com/Twitch: https://twitch.tv/fcainTwitter: https://twitter.com/universetodayFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/universetodayInstagram - https://instagram.com/universetodayTeam: Fraser Cain - @fcain / [email protected]Karla Thompson - @karlaii / https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEItkORQYd4Wf0TpgYI_1fwChad Weber - [email protected]References:https://space.nss.org/wp-content/uploads/Lunar-Bases-conference-2-706-Lunar-Roving-Vehicle.pdfhttps://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/lunar/apollo_lrv.htmlhttps://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/apollo/missions/apollo11.htmlhttps://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/atoms/files/exploration_rover_concepts_grc.pdfhttps://www.researchgate.net/publication/228353156_Concept_for_a_Radioisotope_Powered_Dual_Mode_Lunar_Roverhttps://www.lpi.usra.edu/lunar/documents/NTRS/collection2/NASA_CR_192034.pdfhttps://www.nasa.gov/exploration/technology/space_exploration_vehicle/https://www.nasa.gov/pdf/284669main_LER_FactSheet_web.pdfhttps://www.nasa.gov/feature/nasa-to-industry-send-ideas-for-lunar-rovers/https://www.nasa.gov/feature/nasa-administrator-signs-declaration-of-intent-with-japan-on-artemis-space-stationhttps://global.toyota/en/newsroom/corporate/27059582.htmlhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eney3cJBtow
