While I'm occupied with sending fleets to other planets - and thinking of ideas for an Eve ascent vehicle - I can at least send unmanned rovers to explore Eve's surface. After watching @Matt Lowne's video - and this one - I got an idea for the rover's design. Since I'm going to Eve, what better name for the rover than Wally? Wally Specs Power Generation 1 x PB-NUK Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator 1 x OX-STAT-XL Photovoltaic Panel Power Capacity 1330 Charge Communication 1 x Communotron 88-88 Mass 882 kilograms Science 1 x thermometer 1 x barometer 1 x fluid-spectro variometer 1 x gravioli detector 1 x seismic accelerometer Maximum Velocity (RECORDED AT KSC) 40 m/s DON'T TRY IT! * Wally and the surface drop capsule on the runway back at Kerbin. Tests were successful, but will need "Allow Partial" for science transmissions. * Wally deployed on Eve's surface, one kilometer away from the Drop Zone. Duna and Laythe are next. Feel free to post questions/comments/concerns about this thread - maybe throw in a "WALL-E" reference now and then. After all, he's on a planet named after his girlfriend. P.S. Wally will also make an appearance in A Mystery Beyond Science.
