Small and cute RCS powered rover/lander.

It has all:

- Lights and batteries

- Solar panel

- SAS

- KAS Container (For all your science and maintenance needs)

- Wheels

- Docking Port Junior (you'd want to tuck this cutie somewhere on your station, wouldn't you?)

- Those awesome quad RCS!!! With enough thrust and dV to land on the Mun and go orbit again

Uses stock parts + several parts from different mods:

- Tweakscaled AIES MS-1 RCS orb tanks

- AIES OPL-Lum lamps

- B9 R5 RCS Thrusters

- USI Exploration Pack (AES RCS thrusters and a jump pod)

- KAS Container and holding rack

Requires TweakScale and USI Exploration Pack

I removed the LS hexcan from under the solar panel, slap there any snacks container of your choice.

Scale the radial tanks to your dV needs or replace with any other RCS fuel container.

USAGE:

This girl is perfect for many career missions on moons.

On land its very easy to drive it in the stock docking mode with activated SAS. RCS thrusters will have same thrust directions as Kerbal EVA and no need to deactivate SAS because it will try to pull forward instead of flipping the craft.

This vehicle is really kerbal in all aspects. Useful, spacey and cute. Well done!

Super cool and cute. But, ya don't need all those RCS pods. One set of four around the CoM would do just fine. Keep it up!

One set is enough for orbital maneuvering but not enough TWR to get to orbit from Mun unless you modify the .cfg for higher thrust output. I was designing it with lander capabilities in mind.

My first missions on the Mun with new MKS ScanOMatic resource unlock, my girl has much work to do.
