| Before you
draw your design for a lunar rover, make sure you
use the steps outlined in Lesson 7, The Design Process. Your problem, as engineer, is to
design a lunar rover that will meet the
requirements for carrying two men on the moon
terrain. Here are two web references that will
give you helpful background information for your
design.
You can also search the NASA
web site for
additional information.
Don't be limited by the
actual design of the lunar rover. Use your
imagination, but work within the constraints of
the problem. When you have completed your design,
please share it with us.
If you really enjoyed
designing your own rover, you may be interested
in participating in the annual "Moon
Buggy" design contest sponsored by NASA for
high school and college students:
