The idea for lunar roving vehicles, or moon buggies, was first published in a 1952-1954 series in Colliers Weekly Magazine.
However the first functioning version of a lunar roving vehicle was produced by Boeing for the Apollo missions 15, 16, and 17. NASA had requested for them to be completed by the 1st of April 1971. The first use of the Lunar Roving vehicles was on the 31st of July 1971, on the Apollo 15 mission.
