Automaker Toyota, together with the Japanese Space Agency, plans to create a vehicle for exploring the lunar surface. According to w3bsit3-dns.com, the automaker has set itself the goal of helping people settle on the moon by 2040, and then turn their eyes to Mars.
The name of the lunar rover Lunar Cruiser is a clear reference to one of the company's most popular models.The vehicle is built in such a way as to provide people with the opportunity to work, sleep, eat and communicate with each other absolutely safely in an airless environment.
To do this, Toyota signed a contract with Gitai Japan, which developed a robotic arm with various attachments for the upcoming lunar rover.
As Takao Sato, head of the Lunar Cruiser project at Toyota Motor, said: “We see space as the domain of our once-in-a-century transformation. By going there, we can develop telecommunications and other technologies that will be useful for human life.”
