The American National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) continues to work on the Moon. In this context, NASA, which needs different space technologies, cooperates with different companies. One of the companies that will take part in space missions will be Japanese manufacturer Nissan.
According to a statement made at the 37th Space Symposium, Nissan, along with its partners Teledyne Brown Engineering and Sierra Space, is working together to support NASA’s future Moon missions.
Nissan will design a vehicle suitable for the rough terrain of the Moon
According to this, companies will design a manned Lunar Terrarin Vehicle as part of the projects NASA will continue on the Moon. These three companies, which have different experiences in space technology, aim to carry astronauts on the lunar surface in the future.
Teledyne Brown Engineering is a company specializing in challenging terrain conditions. The company has been involved in nearly all of NASA’s manned missions since 1960. Teledyne will perform cargo supply and return missions to the International Space Station for NASA.
Working in the automobile industry for many years, Nissan has recently focused on the space transportation industry. The Japanese manufacturer also unveiled an electric moon vehicle prototype developed in conjunction with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) in recent months.
Nissan North America also recently issued a press release on the subject. In the statement, it is stated that NASA astronauts are working with Sierra Space to develop a Lunar Terrain Vehicle that they can use during their lunar missions.
Nissan stated that they can use e-4ORCE systems in order for the vehicle to be produced to move on the difficult surface of the Moon. It is believed that the all-wheel drive system, which manages the power and braking system for a smooth and stable ride, will also succeed on the surface of the Moon.
Do you think Nissan’s e-4ORCE system can help NASA’s astronauts? You can share your views with us in the comments section or on the SDN Forum.
