Good morning teacher and friends,

Today, on behalf of my team, I would like to present to you the information of a vehicle for space exploration.

This vehicle is called “Moon buggy” or the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV). It was used on the Moon in the last three missions of the American Apollo program (15, 16 and 17) during 1971 and 1972. It uses battery for providing power so you need to charge it like you charge your mobile phone before using it. This vehicle is quite complex so it can only be controlled by NASA’s astronauts since they are trained to do so. Lastly, an interesting feature of this vehicle is that it can endure the freezing-cold temperature of the Moon at night. All the above amazing features enable this vehicle to complete its mission to help human to explore the space.

Thank you for listening!
