"...One can always imagine obstacles that any one particular rover design might not be able to handle..."
All mars rovers' movements must be "planned" for days due to earth-mars radio delay. Moonrovers, thanks to "one-second" only radio-delay, can be driven in real-time. This is a GIANT advantage (for space/time moon exploration) of moonrovers vs. mars rovers but may increase the problems that a rovers may have during moon travel. A Segway-based design may help if some unexpected problems will happen. ---------------------------------------------- Moonrovers' Prize Competition www.gaetanomarano.it/moonprize/moonprize.html |
