The Canadian Press: Researchers plan to use fuel-guzzling Humvee to study alleged Humvee-ogenic climate change

VANCOUVER, B.C. — Scientists hoping to advance human exploration on the Moon and Mars are taking their team on a road trip along the cold Northwest Passage this spring.

The four intrepid researchers are taking their Mars-1 Humvee Rover where a road vehicle has never gone before, all in the name of science.

The scientists leave next month and will be escorted by two snowmobiles which will carry fuel and food.

The distinctive orange MARS-1 Humvee rover is a unique experimental field exploration vehicle modified for the HMP by AM General, manufacturer of the famous High Mobility Multi-purpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) or Humvee. The refurbished four-wheel-drive all-terrain rover rolled out of AM General's plant in Mishiwaka, Indiana, on May 14, 2002, bearing the one-of-a-kind serial number "MARS-1". The vehicle configuration is that of a military ambulance HMMWV. To increase traction and tread lightly, the MARS-1 is equipped with wide tracks manufactured by Mattracks, Inc.

The MARS-1 is equipped with a tall rear cab affording compact work and living space (including two sidewall-mounted sleeping bunks) for crews of up to four researchers engaging in several day-long field traverses across the rugged Mars-like rocky polar desert terrain of Devon Island.
