Description

Update 12022.7.7: Updated KSP 1.12.3, redesigned science pod and wider landing gear stance.

Tired of roving around Duna, this can travel several times faster and no rocks to collide with! Can hover above Duna’s tallest peaks and can cruise across the surface at up to 85 m/s. Comes with a detachable/re-attachable Science Pod and its own booster rocket for getting to Duna. With Mechjeb it can be locked to a heading and keep flying in that direction until it runs out of power after dark. Can circumnavigate Duna in ~7 hours, not including time to land and stay over night.
