Scientists have developed lunar vehicle Much like a giant baby carriage, designed by California startup Venturi Astrolab, it is also capable of bending and lifting payloads from lunar soil and depositing the cargo on site. Required.

According to the British newspaper, “Daily Mail”, the vehicle will be specifically designed to deal with lunar terrain It might one day be used to transport humans around Mars.

Venturi Astrolab plans to assemble a fleet of rovers over the coming years. It wants to help NASA and commercial companies establish a long-term presence on Earth’s only natural satellite, but it hasn’t revealed the cost of the rover.

The FLEX rover is called flexible logistics and exploration, as it can carry a variety of different things if built to an agreed standard of size and shape.

The vehicle can be remotely controlled, maneuverable semi-autonomously, and even modified to include a crew interface so that astronauts can ride on board as it drives across the surface of the Moon.

The designers of FLEX also make it clear that it is more compatible with NASA’s ultimate goal of supporting a continued presence on the Moon and Mars because it is designed around a modular payload interface that supports multimodal transport from the lander to the rover and back.
