I not one that like to be a downer for ideas. Yet from what I understand about the notion of not introducing foreign biological factors onto Mars; actually putting humans on Mars itself may be too extreme a challange. That said, the two moons of Mars seem like an idea goal for more than one reason. The biggest being the costs of atmospherically braking etc, a lander; and having to get out of the Mars 'gravity hole', when leaving. From the moons' closer distances, the time delay of remotely running robots is not as near as hard to execute. And getting them fully 'sanatized' for the insertion into the Mars' enviroment is much much easier.

Yah, I got the note. Food and water, and uh! ... that to too.

Amazing looking photos! I'd assume the design of that vehicle is to enable maximum visibility at the front so that the ground can be monitored?

The graduated filter on the the EVA mock up suit photo adds a nice effect to that photo too.

Cheers,
Glenn

Awesome report- keep the SW references coming!
This is a great rover design, I love it... but someone's gonna have to tell us just how they get into that suit and get the life support system in behind them! Please.... :)

Hey NASA EDGE,
Thanks for coming out to Black Point, AZ! We had a very exciting 2 weeks out there. The entire field test, especially the 3-day SPR mission, was a huge success thanks to the extremely hard work of a lot of dedicated people. Can't wait for your NE segment on this one. Lovin' the SW parody.

Cheers,

WCB - Check out Vodcast #10: Lunar Architecture. You'll see Franklin helping Blair out with his home made space suit. I think Blair would still be stuck in Arizona if it wasn't for Franklin.

All the best,

sorry, who is Franklin? Isn't he suppose to be preventing the astronaut from falling? :)Is that a humor of you making?

Nice touch the suit carrier. But I am little preoccupied with the viability of the idea. If the suits are exposed, it can be damage by flying debriefs of the wheels. Remember what happen when the LRV lose the fenders on the moon. It also can be perforated by a lucky or unlucky micrometeorite. If the suit go this way must have a little of insulation that protect them. Also the temperature could be an issue. The idea is are very practical in order to save time to go to EVA, saving oxygen, and the deletion of the air look or even in an emergencies.

No, that isn't me in the suit behind the SPR. I did, however, get to see a couple of demonstrations of the process of getting in and out of the suits. I kept looking for an opportunity to try it myself, but no luck.

BTW, Franklin would have been there, but he was on his Honeymoon. As cool as SPR is, I think he made the right decision.

Great pics!!! Is that Blair in the space suit on the back of SPR? Keep up the great work. I wish NASA EDGE was on cable TV (besides NASA TV). I am sure you all have thought about that. By the way, where is Franklin? Isn't he suppose to be preventing the astronaut from falling? :)
