NASA Moonstream concept is a design proposal for a future moon exploration vehicle. NASA Moonstream concept was created by Anthony Sims, an Art Center College of Design student. NASA sponsored project called for a conceptual lunar rover for the year 2020.
NASA Moonstream’s inside has been styled to offer a comfortable living space, and also provide all the necessities for work, play, washing, communication with earth and sleeping.
NASA Moonstream’s exterior design was heavily inspired by nature, from the protective shell of a tortoise, aquatic form of the humpback whale and stance of the giraffe.
The suspension and wheels of NASA Moonstream concept are fully adjustable for height, camber and track. The wheels even have a unique ‘walking’ capability at slow speeds (similar to an insect).
NASA Moonstream’s driver will sits in the cockpit at the front of the vehicle in a unique reversed chair. This supports the chest area and allows the driver to see the ground directly in front of the Moonstream more effectively
In the words of the designer. “The Moonstream is the ultimate luxury space lounge, designed to change public perceptions of Nasa and entice people to be more interested in a future mission to the moon. The Moonstream enables true comfort for habitants of the vehicle and also provides an appealing setting for filming of the daily lives of people on the 1st ever moon road trip from the north to south pole”.
