UGEARS - MANNED MARS ROVER
Assemble me. Explore the Red Planet with Me! Explore the red planet with Ugears Manned Mars Rover, a DIY 6×6 all-terrain explorer designed for planetary missions. With independent suspension, a spring-driven motor, swivel chassis, rotating antenna, and folding rear ramp, this detailed model is built for navigating Martian landscapes.
The Manned Mars Rover features a rear storage bay for tools, equipment, or rock samples. Open it up to reveal the ratchet key used to wind the spring motor. On the left rear panel, youll find a Start/Stop switchset it to "Stop" before winding, then flip it to "Start" and watch your rover head off to explore the red planet. Try setting up a Martian obstacle course and see how the six wheels, with independent suspension, absorb bumps while the rubberised treads provide extra grip.
Laser-engraved details add realism throughoutcheck out the cab's dashboard and the solar panels on top of the hatch. You can also add the official NASA insignia sticker to the rovers right panel. In use since 1959, this emblem includes a blue sphere representing a planet, a red chevron for aeronautics, white orbital lines, and stars symbolising space. Used with permission from NASA.
NASAs upcoming Artemis II mission, scheduled for launch in late 2024, aims to establish a permanent lunar outpostone step closer to a crewed mission to Mars. If that happens, well need reliable transport. Just like the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) enabled Apollo 15 astronauts to travel further and collect vital samples, the Manned Mars Rover imagines the next evolution of space mobility. The original LRVengineered by M.G. Bekker and Ferenc Pavlicshad to operate in extreme conditions, withstand micrometeoroid impacts, and survive 500°F temperature swings. Three of them are still parked on the moon!
