More information courtesy Kelly Humphries, NASA's Public Affairs Specialist for the Constellation Program...The LRV is the Science, Crew, Operations and Utility Testbed (SCOUT), which is not a real rover design but a testbed for potential rover technologies they may be employed. Larry Toups, NASA's lead for habitations systems in the Constellation Program, is pictured sitting in SCOUT above. The lunar habitat is a mock-up, but not of anything in the real design stages. Its use is as a human factors and requirements definition tool. More photographs of the habitat and its interior were published by NASA in February 2006. |

Something struck me as odd in those pictures, and it took me a second to figure out what it was.That's a NASA mock-up designed for an environment WITH gravity. How cool is that? ------------------ All These Worlds Space Blog | Hatbag.net "America's challenge of today has forged man's destiny of tomorrow." - Commander Eugene Cernan, Apollo 17 Mission, 11 December 1972 | |
