The fascination with colonizing Mars has piqued the interest of many designers and architects, and over the years there have been many conceptual designs that imagine what type of infrastructure and gadgets would contribute to humanity's domination of the planet—this ATV trike by Seongho Kim is just one example.
Dubbed 'Outlander,' the vehicle is considered to be a Mars Terrain Veloce (MTV) and it is designed for Mars' rugged terrain. Some of the features that contribute to the ATV trike's maneuverability include 3D-printed metal chassis, CO2 blasters, and airless tires. The design also features a LiDAR sensor for road comprehension. Seongho Kim's Outlander may serve as a vital exploration tool that is also lightweight, compact, agile, and malleable.
