NASA is testing its Small Pressurized Rover in the Arizona desert (large image). At the 11th annual Desert RATS (Research and Technology Studies), two rover configurations were tested.
One configuration leaves the crew members free to get on and off the rover whenever they like, but they must wear spacesuits at all times to protect them from the lunar environment. The second configuration -- called the Small Pressurized Rover, or SPR -- adds a module on top of the rover’s chassis that the crew can sit inside as they drive the vehicle, donning spacesuits whenever they want to get out.
