“MarsCruiserOne” is a pressurized, habitable rover, designed to allow exploration of the Moon and Mars during future space missions. The vehicle is a laboratory designed to accommodate 3 astronauts for up to 2 weeks before returning to the main base station. Characterized by omni-directional wheels especially suited to tackle rocky terrain, it travels at speeds of 5-10 kmh (3-6 mph). The interiors are designed to ensure maximum functionality and comfort for the crew.
