NASA Completes Desert Lunar Rover Testing
NASA,Desert Rats,Mars
One of the stops on NASA’s way to the moon is the Arizona desert. The 2009 Desert RATS — or Research
and Technology Studies — field test simulated a 14-day lunar mission. Two crew members — an astronaut
and a geologist — lived for 14 days inside NASA’s prototype Lunar Electric Rover, scouting the area for
features of geological interest and conducting moonwalks as necessary to collect samples. Other
prototype vehicles tested include Ames’s K‑10 robotic scout and JPL’s Tri-Athlete cargo handling and
manipulation system. For more information www.nasa.gov

This is so awesome. Now we can finally land a man on the Moon! (joke)
That insectoid looking thing at the end was cool and creepy at the same time.
was that testing done at modoc lava beds?
mars 2100… lol
it should be mars first
03:29 the flag is printed backwards above the back wheel.
nah in the same footage @ 03:03 NASA is not backwards and when they zoom out you can see both stickers.
lol that spider thing looks great^^
desert lunar rover fantastic 🙂 planet mars we go by italy
man that thing is ugly as hell
nice invention though
Awesome video in so many levels.
Yeah, but can it dance?
sheesh…how do you guys (meaning NASA) come up with these clever acronyms?
and also…how will you fit these on top of the new Ares rockets? 🙂
Nice toys.
the pictures of the module walking off the lander and then driving off was amazing. check it 4:13
simple superb.…buddy..nice video
LUNAR.
Science is Awesome, Yeah, But…Wait Until Yew See the CHRISTIAN ROVER DEBUT!! YEAH…xtians have GODADVANTAGE!! (hmmm..dunnothestatusofthatyet..dewyew?)
Nice to see the stuff we will never use, thanks Obama! The money to go to the moon will be spent on a better cause …like ACORN.
obvioulsy your IQ doesn’t allow you to get that these things were planned and engeeneered far before Obama’s election.
the tri-athlete FINALLY looks like a vehicle out of all those futuristic sci-fi movies. hopefully it doesn’t take too much longer to actually put them into use.
Oh I know when they were planned. But now they have to be scrapped because we are not going to the moon!
Reminds me of my Lego creations. It is certifiably awesome! I hope we all get to see this at work on the moon!
4:14 that thing looks like a walking robot it looks weird. so cool
This would be great for roaming around Burning Man 😉
Tri-Athlete is creepy
the athlete is so cool!
