Hazard Team / Planetary Science

• Triple-Use
1. Within the Hazard Team it is used to remove dangerous pieces with its grappler. As a heavy duty lifter, it allows to remove large pieces in case needed
2. As a utility vehicle, it allows to move heavy objects such as borders, rocks, debris etc
3. Support planetary science as a collector of small and large “rocks”
• Due to its powerful arm, it can break-out rocks / boulders from larger formations
• Extended reach due to the arm / height
• Targets are in general identified by the other planetary research units
• The cabin can be closed to protect and isolate the astronaut from outside danger, such as gas, radiation etc
• Pot. dangerous samples can be isolated in the storage container and be transported to the Central Lab
• Radar dishes on the side are used to identify dangerous objects, e.g. radiation, chemicals, vapour etc
• Walking Engine allows fo high pull / push forces when grabbing items
• Elevated design on stilts keeps the astronaut / operator away from dangerous material on the ground (chemical spills, high temperature, radiation, corrosion aggressive, …) and extended the reach of the arm
