037 Moon Rolly
The European Agency assigned to an industrial team led by Thales Alenia Space Italia
the study ‘Analysis of a Pressurised Lunar Rover’ which would define the overall
preliminary requirements and the conceptual design for a Pressurized Lunar Rover
(PLR) System, fitting into the emerging architectures related to lunar exploration.
The proposed PLR is a six wheels pressurized rover powered by solar arrays and fuel
cells, having an internal scientific laboratory, re-locatable to different locations
between excursion missions and being operable by a single crew member or remotely
from either a ground control centre or a lunar base.
