Mars Manned RoverShock Absorbers

• Design solution

  • Very heavy duty springs and hydraulic systems both filled with fluid
  • The reason for the fluid is to help with the shock absorbing process
  • The fluid must have a very high boiling temperature, and a very low freezing temperature to withstand the Martian climate
  • There will be approximately ten shock absorbers on each tread, twenty in all
