Assembly of the preliminary MMX Rover model
The preliminary test model of the MMX Rover already has two wheels (background) and is being used to detect and address potential structural weaknesses. Measuring 47.5 centimetres by 55 centimetres by 27.5 centimetres, the rover housing is a lightweight construction comprising precisely stiffened sandwich components with outer layers made of carbon-fibre-reinforced polymers (CFRP) and cores made of aluminium honeycomb.
