Offroad on the Red Planet

Cosmos magazine takes a look at what humans might drive around on the surface of Mars one day. Writer Michael Dumiak examines the MarsCruiserOne, a three- to four-person rover designed by Architecture and Vision of Munich.

The article contains some very cool illustrations of the rover, which was designed by German Andreas Vogler and his Rome-based partner Arturo Vittori, whose brother Roberto is an ESA astronaut.

“I’m worried about it tipping over,” says JPL’s Brent Sherwood, who is editing a collection of space design concepts. “But it is very cool – one of the more advanced designs I’ve seen.”
