Description

A mod rocket called JumpStarter. Built with 375 of the finest parts, its root part is probeStackLarge.

Welcome to what I lovingly call the JumpStarter. You can use this vehicle as refueling, tanker, mining vehicle or relay station.

It will JumpStart any mission or stranded ship. It will successfully mine and convert ~3500 DV or ~140 T of fuel material per trip from any small moon and bring it back to the tanker/depot portion of the ship.. However you will need a satellite in a polar orbit with m700 scanner to mine efficiently on the moon you choose.

Placing one of these vehicles at Minmus and Ike gives you endless possibilities. You can replace the Sr Clamp-o-tron at the tip of the vehicle as needed.
