This Mobility Test Article (MTA) was a concept of a possible dual mode Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) built by the Grumman, sure looks like the….? #mta #lrv #nasa #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari

Here is NASA's Landing Systems Research Aircraft (LSRA), a modified Convair 990. A new landing gear test fixture representative of the shuttle's landing gear system had been installed in the lower fuselage of the CV-990 test aircraft between the aircraft's normal main landing gear. Following initial flights, static loads testing and calibration of the test gear were conducted at Dryden. Tests allowed engineers to assess the performance of the space shuttle's main and nose lan

Here is an artist's concept illustrating the deployment sequence of the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) on the Moon. It was a collapsible open-space vehicle about 10 feet long with large mesh wheels, anterna, appendages, tool caddies, and cameras. Powered by two 36-volt batteries, it has four 1/4-hp drive motors, one for each wheel. The LRV was used on each of the last three Apollo missions. #nasa #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari #apollo
