A team of electrical and mechanical engineering students at the University of Arkansas Fort Smith (UAFS) has responded to a NASA Request For Information (RFI) 1 concerning a Lunar Terrain Vehicle (LTV) for the upcoming Artemis mission.The team has focused their attention on two design criteria, stowage footprint and suspension/steering.Our design features a folding frame and canopy which reduces the stowage footprint by 50%.The LTV will also feature independent suspension using an encapsulated spring and all-wheel driving using hub motors.During the design and construction of the LTV, this team will present their work to a group of NASA engineers for consideration and feature adoption.
