Below is a rough sketch of the Moon Rover (MR) that will fit inside of the Lunar Module (LM). The drawing is not to scale (nor is the antenna size in comparison with the MR body). The sketch was based off the "Spirit and Opportunity" Mars Rover.

The sketch of the Moon Rover was done with Intergraph SmartSketch LE (and is not to scale). The logos for companies with whom VagaLune will work closely with will be affixed to Moon Rover in a show of thanks for their product and cooperation. The placement of logos is not final, thus not all corporate logos are visible in the above view. In essence, this is a NASCAR-style (for those familiar with auto-racing) Moon Rover. Corporate logos can be found on their respective product sheets or webpages (which are linked on the References page.
