Lunar Rover Storage
The Lunar Rover Vehicle (LRV) was
engineered to fold
in such a way as to allow it to fit within the tight, pie-shaped confines of
Quad 1 of the Lunar Excursion Module
(LEM) that transported it to the moon. After the LEM landed, the LRV unfolded
itself from its stowed position, and deployed itself to the moon's surface in
its operational configuration with minimum assistance from the astronauts.
