Introduction
Create a parametric model of a transport vehicle designed to be used on a distant planet.
Research existing Mars-type rovers
Modular design for space travel. Modular parts are packed separately, then assembled on site.
ATV (All-terrain vehicle) can travel through soft sand or hard rocky terrain
Able to transport 1-4 people and/or equipment/supplies
Run a force simulation on the titanium chassis
Create a 1/16th scale 3D printed model of your design with a functional suspension and steering
Create a landscape display where your model might be going.

Chassis and Suspension
Chassis and Suspension
The battery is part of the chassis, which offers less complexity and easier access. The double wishbone suspension allows the rover to traverse rough terrain.
Render
Render
The render shows body of the rover with the wheels.
3D Printed Model
3D Printed Model
3D printed model to demonstrate the design in a Martian habitat.
Force Simulation
Force Simulation
The simulation shows that the titanium chassis can safely handle a force of 50,000 pounds.
