Ares 7 Rover
Rover vehicles have proved crucial to the Mars Ares missions since the late 2020s. Ares 7 introduces a new, larger and more capable rover allowing remote missions of several sols' duration.
The rover includes double airlocks reducing cabin contamination, a mobile analysis bay and crew hygiene facilities. Powered by a plutonium RTG and solar array, the Ares 7 Rover extends NASA's reach across the Red Planet.
MODEL NOTES
The rover (started during Febrovery but finished a little late!) is inspired by Mark Watney's rover in Ridley Scott's 2015 film 'The Martian'. The vehicle is powered by 2 PF motors including twin-axle steering and full independent suspension, and has a fully detailed interior. More shots to follow...
