The focus of this paper is a preliminary study intended as the first phase in the development of a pressurized rover conceptual design. NSBE Space has concluded that pressurized rovers will be necessary for any large scale lunar presence. Rover missions include both local transportation between the lunar base and lunar landers as well as surface expeditions away from the base focused around scientific research or commercial industry activities. The paper provides a brief assessment of design concepts for rover vehicle systems. This rover is a traditional configuration of a pressure vessel mounted above a drive mechanism, but is larger than many of the traditional concepts based on the MOSAP configuration, such as LUNOX.
