Martin - Lunar Logistics Vehicle (1962)

[Graham1973]

I just found this on the NTRS. The report pre-dates slightly the decision made to use LM variants for Post-Apollo lunar logistics. The vehicle comes in two types. A single stage version launched by a Saturn I and a two stage version launched on a Saturn V. There is also a rather intriguing LRV sketch.

When I downloaded it, I got it in one go. I've been searching the NTRS since for any information on lunar rover plans prior to MOLAB (1963) with no luck, so I've had no way to determine if the 'sketch LRV' was based on a specific design, anyway here is a picture of the unloading arrangements.

This book has basic information on a lot of the rover designs:
