NASA unveils latest lunar rover with 12 wheels capable of two-speed gear shifting

According to the American Broadcasting Corporation, in order to return to the moon as soon as possible, NASA has launched its first lunar rover sample, named "Chariot". The lunar rover Chariot took only a year from development to completion. It has 12 wheels, is driven by 2 electric motors, and can shift through two gears. The super powerful "bulldozer" mode of the lunar rover can provide 4000 pounds of thrust; while the "cruiser" mode of the lunar rover can cruise at a speed of 24 kilometers per hour. The modular design means that the steel alloy structure can carry multiple passengers or a large amount of cargo, as well as an essential small sealed cockpit and sampling instrument. This behemoth is larger than the average lunar rover and can carry 7 to 8 people. It is unclear when NASA will deploy the Chariot.
