Toyota Lunar Cruiser | Toyota into MOON | Toyota JAXA PRESSURIZED ROVER

Toyota Lunar Cruiser - One step ahead for toyota in the space world . The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and Toyota Motor Corporation have christened their manned, pressurised rover ‘Lunar Cruiser’ as the collaborative space exploration project builds towards a planned launch in the latter half of the 2020s. The agreement between JAXA and Toyota concerns the continuing study of developing a manned, pressurised rover that employs fuel cell electric vehicle technologies. Such a form of mobility is deemed necessary for human exploration activities on the moon surface. The Lunar Cruiser name is a nod towards Land Cruiser, Toyota’s iconic SUV, which will be celebrating its 70th anniversary in 2021. The decision was made based on the quality, durability and reliability expected of the pressurised lunar rover – matching those values long held sacrosanct by Toyota for its unrivaled, all-wheel drive utility vehicle. Even with the limited amount of energy that can be transported to the moon, Lunar Cruiser would have a total lunar surface cruising range of more than 10,000km (approximately 6200 miles). The aim of international space exploration is to achieve sustainable prosperity for humankind by expanding our domain of activity and giving rise to intellectual properties. To achieve these exploration goals, it is essential to have co-ordination between robotic missions.
