You may have seen these before, but here are a few Marsokhod rover designed developed and tested by TransMASH. First is a concept developed for a Mars-94 mission. Note the radioisotope thermopile generator on the back.
[attachment=5964:attachment] They also experimented with walking rovers, and with hybrid concepts that included wheels on articulated axles: [attachment=5965:attachment] [attachment=5966:attachment] [attachment=5967:attachment] In 1999, TransMASH worked with NASA on a Mars rover, a blend of Marsokhod and some American concepts clearly. Looks similar to the ExoMars rover, I think. [attachment=5968:attachment] |

I'm sorry for digging up this old thread, but I have to say something about Russian rover attempts.
The Russians were first in putting a rover on Mars. Indeed, Mars 3 carried a small rover, named PROP-M. It was designed to communicate directly with the lander with a simple cable. And it was not a wheeled rover, it had a skiing system. The rest you know - the lander failed 20 seconds after landing and the rover couldn't achieve its goals. |
