Lego and Lunar Outpost to roll out ‘Moon Rover Space Vehicle’ in August

The first teleopered rover of the United States to reach the surface of the Moon is being implemented as a lay model this summer, along with two futuristic vehicles inspired by robotic lunar explorers of real life.

The new Lunar Outpost Moon Rover space vehicle is scheduled for the launch on August 1, as part of the Lego technical line or advanced construction kits. The SET of $ 99.99 is the result of a collaboration between the Danish Timaker and the Advanced Lunar position, a Colorado -based company that specializes in moving moving, commercial space robotics and spatial resources.

“Inspired by real -life Outpost vehicles that allow humanity’s return to the moon, this lunar lunar lunar space vehicle of Lunar Lego Technic comes with a moon rover, a mining rover and a MAPP rover to inspire the endless exploration leagues.

The MAPP, or mobile autonomous prospecting platform, was the key part of the Lunar Voyage 1 lunar outpost mission, which on March 6 reached the moon, making history. It would have done even more, if the commercial landing that gave Mapp there not to be inclined immediately, catching the rover inside its garage. He never had the opportunity to activate Rove anywhere.

Fortunately, a lunar voyage is planned. Another Mapp is scheduled to launch into the Moon in 2026 with a set of NASA instruments to investigate a magnetic anomaly known as a “lunar whirlwind.” The mission will demonstrate the versatility of the rover, including its ability to drive long distances and bring a great payload due to its size.

The MAPP included with the Lunar Lunar Lunar Lunic Moon Rover Vehicle is representative of the rover in general, with some details modeled specifically after the first to be sent to the Moon. The other robotic explorers that are included in this set are not based on the current Lunar Outpost designs, but the representation capabilities needed to take advantage of the resources found on the surface.

“The main model is a futuristic all -terrain rover with a rocker suspension, four -wheel direction, drop -down solar panels and a rotating arm,” says the Lego product page for the 1,082 pieces. “Use the arm to lift the narrower mining rover and send it to a mission to recover the elements of the moon regolite (lunar rock). Save the rocks in the sample container and then display the MAPP Rover to collect more information on the surface of the moon.”

The main rover of the moon, when it was assembled, measures more than 5 inches high, 12 inches long and 7.5 inches wide (13 by 31 by 19 centimeters). The kit is with the intention of 10 years or more builders.

This is the first product released under the Association of Outpost of Lego and Lunar, which was the first announcement a few days before the first MAPP Rover reached the lunar surface. At that time, Lego said he was “joining” with the company Rover “about a love shared for space” and “building ridiculously great things.”
