NASA is Using Kawasaki ATVs to Train Here on Earth

Irvine, CA (2/21/2011) - High in the arctic circle, research is being conducted by NASA and the Mars Institute to determine whether life on the surface of Mars could be a reality in the near future. This area is known as Haughton Crater and has the closest resemblance to Mars, so its desolate and harsh landscape requires the use of Kawasaki Bayou 250 ATVs--the only ATV that the researchers trust to be tough enough to withstand the elements and meet their scientific needs. Take a rare glimpse into what may be the first step into the final frontier aboard Kawasaki ATVs.
