SPACE1 Mars Cars Index
The index is from November 2016 to the current date, showing the development of the Mars Car.

The concept for the Mars Car was developed by Humanoido at SPACE1 in the year 2016 and various versions were created in beta. Eventually the loud noxious internal combustion gasoline engine was replaced with the silent running electric version in 2020.

History

The first Mars Car was designed to ferry parts, supplies, and astronauts to the spaceport launch site on Earth and motor around the launch pad and site installations. It was feature laden, with lights, electric start, steering wheel, brakes, turn signals, reverse, automatic transmission, standard pedals for acceleration and braking, safety roll cage, seat belts, electric heater, mirrors, shoulder straps, and seats to fit two people. An overhead storage compartment was located in the rear with additional storage under the dash. It ran on regular unleaded gasoline and was not designed to breathe CO2. It was repurposed as a cross country vehicle to access remote rocket launch locations and rural tracking locations. It was small city street certifiable and legal according to local regulations.

Electric Mars Cars

Top of the line and upgraded features to include high power and only about two feet wide for reduced rocket payload size, the new all electric engine drive Mars Car has many new features and is very diminutive in LWH for rocket payload packing.

Electric Mars Cars Specifications

It currently includes remote timing, a pretensioner seat belt, form fitting adjustable bucket seat, keyed electric start, electronic horn, electronic remote control, power controller and voltage regulator, speed controller, power cells accessed under the flip seat, a self recharger, special acceleration and braking pedals, low drain high intensity front headlights, automatic no-touch turn signals, and a choice of electric car interchangeable bodies in various style designs and colors, fabricated from advanced Polymeta materials.

Additional Features

The Mars Cars come with protective housing, brake tail lights and a flashing lighting configuration, an enamel undercoating for repelling iron oxide Martian regolith, and drive with three main contact wheels and two additional balance wheels. A special shifting lever enables a pinpoint turning radius. Includes electronic disc brakes.

Manufacturing in China

Manufacturing was established at our China assembly-line plant, an updated new electric model was prototyped, assembled and shipped to Humanoido at SPACE1 Headquarters where it's now being tested for potential use in space colonies, on the Moon, Mars and at Solar System locations. The project is redubbed Mars Cars. Humanoido is designing and constructing the unique space car bodies.
