Early Lunar Rover Prototype

Pictured above is a November 22, 1964 photo of William Sponsler (click on the image to see it at full size), a designer of the Lunar Surface Vehicle at Northrop Space Laboratories. In the photo he’s checking the mechanism of a one-sixth scale model as it moves over a rubbled replica of moon surface. Over five years later on July 31, 1971 the first lunar rover would make it debut during the Apollo 15 mission.
