Description and History

Similar to the M-299, the GN XM-3002 is a six-wheeled variable terrain vehicle designed to operate in low-gravity conditions on terrestrial bodies with little or no atmosphere. The XM-3002 has room for four passengers (including driver) and features small thruster nozzles along the sides of the vehicle (including two top mounted omni-directional nozzle bulbs) for low gravity maneuvering. Like most utility vehicles, the XM-3002 has a communications system that can be linked with the internal units in personal space suits. First Lieutenant Misa Hayase operated an XM-3002 during the SDF-1 Macross landing on the planet Mars, in which she drove from the Macross to Mars Base Salla.
