Moon buggy

Space surface transport

A moon buggy is a lightweight vehicle designed to traverse the lunar surface.

The term usually refers to the Lunar Roving Vehicle used during Apollo missions 15, 16, and 17 in the early 1970s.

More loosely, moon buggy describes any rover-style vehicle with large wheels and open frame, especially in science fiction or amusement park contexts.
