MRM-045 the mars rover!

My MRM-45 rocket!

I was working on a rocket inspired by NASA’s Perseverance mission, creating a rover for Cylero. It lands by re-entering Cylero’s atmosphere, protected by a capsule with a heat shield.

At around 13 km AGL, the parachute deploys and the heat shield separates. Then, at approximately 3000 m AGL, you can detach the sky crane, which carries the rover. You must carefully land it in a safe location (remember: fuel is not infinite).

Once the rover lands smoothly on Cylero’s surface, you can deploy it using the AG-8 rover sliders:

Slider 1: Extends the wheels. Set it to -100 to fully deploy them.

Slider 2: Extends the rover’s head. Set it to +100.

Sliders 3–4: Rotate the rover’s head.

Slider 3 moves it up and down.

Slider 4 moves it left and right.

For now, both the rocket and the rover do not have an automatic system, so all operations must be done manually. In the future, I plan to make the landing process safer and fully automatic.

If you're wondering why the first stages are so heavy, it's because of the launch pad.

IMPORTANT:
I designed the rocket to be somewhat realistic, so you must program the auto-burns carefully. Any fuel saved can make a big difference when landing on Cylero.

What do “TMC RCS” and “OTCE engines” AG mean?

TMC RCS (Trajectory Manual Control RCS):
These are cruise-stage RCS thrusters used to manually correct the rocket-rover’s trajectory while in orbit

OTCE (Orbital Trajectory Correction Engines):
These are Spirit engines used to automatically correct the trajectory during the cruise phase between Droo and Cylero.

These activation groups belong to the cruise stage and are used to perform small orbital maneuvers when planning an auto-burn in Juno.

I recommend using the OTCE engines only for short periods, as prolonged use will quickly drain all monopropellant fuel.

when using the cruise stage, the command chip is reversed, keep that in mind when you are on a reentry

That’s all. Remember, this is my first rover designed for Cylero, so if you have any advice or encounter any problems with the rocket or rover, feel free to let me know.

Happy New Year!!!
