Nissan Terranaut

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Nissan Terranaut concept vehicle was an SUV that was presented at the 2006 Geneva Motor Show . Nissan developed it for the needs of scientists , geologists , archaeologists or simply adventurers with 3 seats. The controls consisted of a spherical pod that the driver could quickly turn to a desired position. The Terranaut was only 2 meters high and wide and 4,965 meters long. This created an extra room to accommodate a mini-laboratory for use in the field. The equipment was designed in such a way that cooling for objects without continuous operation of the vehicle was guaranteed for up to a week. Tents and sleeping bags could be placed in the doors of storage compartments.

On the outside of the car, a small overhang and good ground clearance made it possible to traverse rough terrain. Instead of a trunk, the Terranaut offered an airlock drawer, which enabled laboratory analysis to be carried out on the vehicle. External displays and touchscreens in the rear provided access to data stored in the vehicle. A more controlled atmosphere in the interior came about through the use of highly reflective glass that kept the sun, snow, or ice from interfering with the scientific analysis in the vehicle.

A glass dome over the rear roof enabled an easy escape route in the event of an emergency. The roof also had a circular housing for satellite positioning equipment. The doors were opened electrically using a touch pad.
