wreckingames2 Posted Tuesday at 12:40 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 12:40 AM I like the idea of rovers and I want to build one but I don't know where I should put it. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linkageless Posted Tuesday at 07:18 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:18 PM Duna is pretty fun for Rovers. Alternatively, if you want to build a specialised rover, try the Mohole at Moho's pole! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanamonde Posted Tuesday at 08:32 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:32 PM Anything that lands on Duna can land on Eve, provided it's got a heat shield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I attempted a Rover landing on Minmus a while back and it went terrible from the low gravity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbejans Posted yesterday at 12:53 PM Share Posted yesterday at 12:53 PM you could use rcs to get better control Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linkageless Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago There's an idea... RCS or even a Spider or Ant constantly pushing you down for better traction on low gravity worlds. You could set independent throttle to only just enough to keep it grounded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Xenon engines, if you can spare the weight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although maybe very low TWR wouldn't be so helpful as you need that downward acceleration to compensate for lack of gravity. It would be interesting to compare on a mid-size rover chassis big enough to host different engine types. I reckon the really high efficiency but low TWR engines would be outshined by some of the others. I reckon mammoths would do the job well, but you'd need a huge rover to make sense!
