The four-wheeled-three-axised lunar rover developed by Hunan University was exhibited successively in the 2010 China (Hefei) Hi-tech Fair Featuring Innovation Factors during Nov.2-4, and the 4th China (Wuhu) Popularized Science Products Exposition from Nov.12 to Nov.14.

The R& D of the rover was supported by the Ministry of Education as one of the national key scientific and technological projects of Ministry of Science and Technology.
