Toyota is a brand that until the Supras were made, you
most likely connected it with trustworthiness, dullness, maybe. Be that as it may,
on account of those games autos, a Le Mans win and a World Rally program, it's
start to turn and now there’s this, a pressurized lunar rover, powered by fuel
cell just like a Toyota Mirai and range to travel more than
9000 kilometers or over 6,000 miles. The range mentioned above is not on
earth its on space, of course.
This all has started to happen after Toyota has decided to team up
with JAXA which is a Japanese agency same as NASA. They teamed up to design a
vehicle which has the capacity to carry
and accommodate up to four people on the moon’s surface and to drive a lap on
the most uneven parts.
“Manned
rovers and pressurised cabins are an
element that will play an important role in fully fledged exploration and use
of the lunar surface,” says JAXA President Hiroshi Yamakawa.
“Having Toyota join us in the challenge of international space
exploration greatly strengthens our confidence.”
Japan has only12
astronauts associated to its name which means it doesn’t have the same
reputation for exploring space as countries like Russia or the United states.
But having a six-wheeled Toyota able to travel even further from the regular
surface of the Earth than a Land Cruiser could do rather a lot to
change that.
There’s no word of specs, beyond its size (not much longer than
a Land Cruiser, but more than twice as wide and double the height), while we
won’t see one in space for at least a decade.
Exciting
enough?
