Own a piece of space history with this miniature replica of one of the Perseverance Mars Rover's wheels!
America's latest and
most ambitious Mars rover yet - Perseverance - successfully landed on
February 18, 2021, after "Seven minutes of Terror!"
This rover's
mission is to search for signs of past microbial life, and it has the
most advanced Suite of instruments yet landed.
Smaller than actual size, this model wheel is approximately 1/5 scale, measuring 4" in diameter and about 2 1/4" thick, the perfect size for a desk accessory. Based on actual NASA files, as far as I know. Durable and lightweight, it is made of custom 3D printed silver-colored plastic; it will show visible layer lines. Not recommended for use as an actual wheel on anything!
The rest of the rover is not included, of course.
