This is the basic design, a one section carbon composite chassis with 3 wire mesh wheels on each side, front telescoping pole with rotating hi-def stereo vision system, panoramic still camera and rear communications pole with hi-gain and low-gain antennas.  Ability to go into hibernation mode during periods of the lunar day not suitable for excursions and during part of the lunar night to conserve energy.

This is the closed position for the rover.  It has the chassis down with the wheels in the up position.  The camera and antenna poles are retracted and the antenna in folded on the top of the rover.  The door to the instruments box is closed.  This is the smallest size that the rover can be.  It is transported in this position.

This is the operating position for the rover.  It has the chassis up with the wheels in the down position.  The camera and antenna poles are extended and the antenna in open on the top of the rover.  The door to the instruments box is still closed. 

This is the drilling and sample position for the rover.  It has the chassis down with the wheels in the up position.  The camera and antenna poles are extended and the antenna in open on the top of the rover.  The door to the instruments box is open exposing the robotic arm and the spectrometer system.  The core drill is next to the arm and pushes down from the bottom of the rover to drill into the soil.  The door acts as a scoop to collect samples of the top soil of the regolith.
