- Synopsis
- This is an image of the Lunar rover: the electric vehicle used by American astronauts to explore the moon in the 1960s and 70s. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. The buggy is seen from the side and facing left so only two of the four wheels can be seen. Some of the on-board equipment has been shown. The buggy is set against the darkness of space. At the far left of the page is a television camera and slightly down from this is a lunar communication relay unit. To the right of this, stretching up the page is a high-gain antenna. Right again is a low-gain antenna and a 16 mm camera and power pack. A small distance down the page is the control column for the astronaut to steer the vehicle and to the right a seat seen from the side. Right again is an aft chassis pallet, which houses experiments, and a hand tool carrier. At the bottom of the page are the two visible wheels on the ground.
