The highlights of the on-going development of a small mobile robot NANOKHOD which is within the framework of European Space Agency (ESA) Technological Research and Development Program are presented. The purpose of the vehicle is to deploy instruments or sensor heads, acting as an extended robotic arm rather than covering large distances on various types of terrain, while maximizing the mass allocation for scientific equipment. Applications of the vehicle could be the projected European mission to Mars, called 'Mars Express', to be launched in 2003 and future European missions to the Moon as well as potential international missions.
