A very large autonomus rover weilding its own rocket launch platform to return samples from the distant moon Taurus. (This craft has only been tested for Taurus but may work on other bodies such as Nebra)
The rear section carries the rocket and launch platform as well as most of the power and electronics. the front of the rover acts as the tractor as well as carrying most of the experiments and sample collection arm.
The arm is controlled via translation controls and roll for the tool head.
The camera mast is controlled with slider 1, all cameras zoom with slider 2.
Driving is done with pitch and yaw.
The delta V provided warrants the use of gravity assists to reach Taurus and get back to Droo. On entry it is very important to keep the craft level in roll or it may tumble out of control. Ascent from Tarus should be done very vertical as drag losses are significant.
