The moon is an inhospitable place that poses many challenges for any permanent human settlement. One of these challenges future colonists will face is the constant solar radiation that bombards the moon. One proposed solution to deal with the sun's radiation is to establish a moon base underground in the lava tube network on the moon. Before colonization can occur, the various tunnels need to be surveyed to find an optimal location. The purpose of the Lunar Rover project was to explore nonconventional designs for small robots designed to explore lunar lava tubes. The project began with five rover designs that were narrowed down to three designs the Lunar Rover time saw promise in. The first featured design is an eight-legged walking rover named Sleipnir, the second a six wheeled design named the Mako, and a rover that can slither like a snake the Serpent. A custom controller was designed for the rovers and a crane-like device was designed to safely lower each rover down into the simulated lava tubes. The Sleipnir rover was fully functional and able to move effectively with a unique locomotion style and was able to navigate satisfactorily.
