The Lunar Roving Vehicle, first used during Apollo 15 in 1971, allowed astronauts to explore farther than ever before—covering over 35 km across the Moon’s surface. These electric rovers expanded our understanding of lunar geology and remain preserved in the lunar dust today, silent witnesses to human exploration.
