NASA tests lunar truck concept in Moses Lake, Washington
Researchers try out NASA's new concept for a lunar truck, the Crew Mobility Chassis Prototype, at Moses Lake, Washington on June 9, 2008. Each set of wheels can pivot individually in any direction, giving the vehicle the ability to drive sideways, forward, backward and any direction in between.This feature is important if the truck becomes mired in lunar dust, needs to zigzag down a steep crater wall or parallel park at its docking station. NASA currently is building the spacecraft and systems to return to the moon by 2020. (UPI Photo/Sean Smith/NASA)
