1 year ago
3
The final three missions (15, 16 and 17) of the American Apollo program in 1971 and 1972 used the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV), a battery-powered four-wheeled rover. Popular names for it include the Moon buggy and the Dune Buggy.
Each LRV was produced by Boeing, and its empty weight is 460 pounds (210 kg). It was built for a top speed of 8 miles per hour (13 kilometers per hour), but it actually reached a top speed of 11.2 miles per hour (18.0 kilometers per hour) on its final mission, Apollo 17. It could carry a maximum payload of 1,080 pounds (490 kg), which would include two people, equipment, and lunar samples.
