The United States Geological Survey mechanics in Flagstaff built two practice rovers at a cost of about $1,900 each. These practice rovers were given the nickname “Grover,” short for “geologic rover”. Grover is one of two simulated lunar rover vehicles built by USGS Astrogeology and was used for the geologic field training of the crews of Apollo 15-17.
