NASA, for a long time Artemis Space Program working on it. With this project, manned moon travel is planned in 2024. At the same time, Artemis has a special importance with her plan to send the first female astronaut to the Moon. NASA wants the vehicles that they can travel on the moon during this journey to be light, compact and suitable for land conditions.
German motor company considering this demand Hookie, designed a spacecraft prototype to fulfill NASA’s wish. There it is tardigrade Details about the antiquated motorcycle called..
NASA wants to colonize Mars before China
NASA seeks more support from US officials for the Mars colony. Otherwise, they claim, China will succeed first.
NASA’s space bike: Tardigrade
The key to NASA’s desire to do so is to keep the payload weight as low as possible for future lunar missions. Because, according to the calculations of NASA engineers, every extra load has a cost. So much so that the extra space in the spacecraft each kilogram, today $2,700has a cost of more than This significantly determines the budget when we consider the amount of fuel required during launch.
The motorcycle takes its name from the Tardigrade, one of the most resilient organisms known, able to survive in the harshest environments. Tardigrade is made of ultra-light metal. It’s 10 millimeters thin, with an invisible frame made of laser-cut aluminum and axles.
Hookie says they coated it with aluminum to protect it from the freezing cold on the Moon. He adds that developing airless vehicle tires is one of the most difficult parts of the job and they have overcome it. The motor company first developed the ultra-light, 24 x 7-inch alloy wheels.
Although Hookie has not yet made an agreement with NASA for the vehicle, he is quite confident that the project will come to life. NASA is researching many different types of travel vehicles, including electric scooters. However, despite Hookie’s certainty, NASA does not seem to give up easily from its 4-wheel electric vehicle, which has become the symbol of lunar programs.
