The same lunar-concept rovers can operate at the moon, the bottom of the oceans, and dry land.

 

 The same lunar-concept rovers can operate at the moon, the bottom of the oceans, and dry land.

Above this text is an interesting lunar-rover concept. A modified Tesla cyber truck that could operate in a vacuum. The electric car can operate always in a vacuum and the thing is that the modification is needed only when the vehicle must be pressurized. There are three ways to make the rover that can operate on the moon. 

The first version just uses the standard but armored vehicle, and in that case, the astronauts must wear full lunar suits which protects them against cosmic radiation and micrometeorites. The second version is to connect the radiation protection to that vehicle. This thing means that astronauts can use lighter suits. But in the case of an accident, this can be risky business. 

And in the "luxury model," the moon rover has a pressurized cabin where the astronauts can take off their lunar suits. The lunar rover can be locally or remote-controlled. The remote control system can be on the Earth or it can be on the moon. And the same rovers can operate independently or manned.

That means in the case of an accident. The base can send the automatic rover for picking the astronauts. The lunar rover can have a button where the astronauts can select between the "autopilot" and "manual cruise". 

The interesting thing is that the same vehicle can use on the moon or deep inside the oceans. The second image portraits Japan's or sharper saying Toyota corporations conceptual moon rover that is large enough also for deep ocean operations. The large-size system can equip with a small nuclear reactor and the crew has more room in that place. 

There is also possible to install the RTG-based electric engine system in all axles and that thing can also give a very good capacity and power to the large-size systems. The nuclear-based system would give the lunar rover an extreme capacity.  

Without depending on if the system operates at the bottom of the ocean. Or on the surface of the moon. And that kind of amphibious system can benefit both civil and military missions. The "car" can drive the bottom of the ocean or it can also travel on the roads and drylands.

The use of mobile telephones as 3D scanners part II

The technology what makes the mobile telephones 3D-scanners is actually the same, what is used to make 3D maps of Earth and other planets. In that technology satellites use radars and meters range between satellite and planet, what makes possible to make those maps, and modern computers and radars allow to make high-resolution 3D-maps, what can be zoom in very good accuracy.


By using VLF or ELF  (Very or Extra Long Frequency) radars those satellites can make 3D maps from the ocean floor from the orbital trajectory. Same way ships can make 3D maps from the ocean floor, by using sonar systems. Also, Lidar or laser radars can be used in those mapping operations. Blue-green laser radars can scan very deep areas of the oceans, and that equipment can also meter the altitude and length of the waves.


But now I missed the thing, what I suppose to write. If the mobile telephones would be connected to drone-helicopters, and they could use enough sharp GPS-system, they could be used to scan very large areas. Of course, the system must know only the distance between the target and phone, and GPS is the very good tool to check the position of the telephone. But it could also work with triangle metering. The changes between the position of the drone and perfect circle can be the addition or subtract from the perfect circle.


That equipment works like satellites, but they are much smaller. And they can scan even entire buildings or ships by using their SONARS. So this might be new role fort smart telephones, what can now use in many things. And if that telephone would cover with waterproof cores and underwater drones it can use to scan entire fish, atolls or shipwrecks. Also, intelligence services can use those things to make 3D-models of submarines. Only thing what is necessary is that SONAR signal must pass the core.
