LSR: Lightweight Survivable Rover (circa 1997)
LSR-1 is a 7 kilogram (Kg) rover R&D prototype having 20cm diameter wheels, 97cm length, 70cm width, and 29cm ground clearance. A central element of LSR design is "Volume Efficient Mobility," wherein wheels and mobility running gear collapse for transport, thus allowing rover stowage during flight to as little as 25% operational field volume.
