Iakovosian

Four Rovers to Mun! Name of rover(s): The Kossamobile My name: Iakovosian (Ya-ko-vos-ee-an) Album link: http://imgur.com/a/jmBaY#0 Includes TWO types of rover, and a skycrane that can send FOUR rovers to the Mun with ease! Rover #1: (normal) Mass = 4.705; Parts = 24 Pros: * Can reach speeds of up to 20 m/s. * Can turn reliably below 8 m/s (the faster you move, the slower you must turn). * Probe module is rotated so that the navball points in the direction of travel. * Includes 4 'Illuminators' (two front, two rear) to increase the brightness of anything their beam touches. * Mounted generators produce enough electricity to maintain prolonged acceleration, even if you leave the lights on! * Has a docking port at the standard height, both front and rear. This means you can create a really long convoy to transport larger amounts of fuel in one go (I've driven a convoy made up of 12 rovers). * The core is made of fuel tanks to enable mass transportation. Rover #2: (with flippers & rockets) Mass = 5.24; Parts = 31 Pros: * All of the above, plus... * Includes 3 landing legs mounted on the front to enable righting of flipped spacecraft. * Landing legs can be raised and lowered even whilst travelling at full speed (over flat ground). * Has 4 rockets mounted radially to enable vertical lift-off, should you want your rover to become airborne! (Yes, you can put your rover into Mun orbit - I have done it myself) Skycrane: (without fuel/engines) Mass = 5.004 Mass (with fuel/engines) = 30.254; Parts = 60 Pros: * Can transport 4 rovers to the Mun at once. * Includes space for one Kerbal. * The Kerbal can repair your rovers, should any of them suffer a tyre puncture. * Carries more fuel than needed, so you could put a docking port on the top (before launch) and then send it back into Mun orbit to act as a refuelling station for other spacecraft. * Design of the skycrane ensures maximum stability and a central centre of mass during flight. .craft Files Skycrane with 2x Rover#1, and 2x Rover#2: http://www./?f8rmbn0t4hkdtlv Skycrane with 4x Rover#1: http://www./?5l34sa8vr32cah7
