E Sled as Planetary polar rover
E sled as Mars polar rover
We propose a Tesla motor derived E Sled as a Mars Polar Lander. SpaceX might be the customer that resales the Data collected to a NASA anchor tenant. A Tesla motor would make for a large rover but most likely will need an RTG/Sterling and battery.
This system might be made to have buoyancy for Titan? (Titan tours Duck E Sled 🙂 ) This would need some thoughts on characterizing the cryogenic Titan dunes to inform us as to interactions with the E Sled tractor system
This system might work on Lunar or Mercury Polar craters?
This system would need to be modified for rougher surfaces and cryogenic conditions
We need trades with a kilo power or decadel survey small fission reactor and the proposed RTG/Sterling battery idea. Any of the three systems above if flown represents a breakthrough for all other future missions
An E Sled sidecar could carry INsight type geology instruments to be dropped off and retrieved and redeployed
