Description
A ready-to-launch rover suitable for Duna or smaller bodies in the JNSQ system. This one is not capable of returning to orbit on its own, but it has enough rocket delta-v for dips into deep holes or climbing mountains.
De-orbit this rover using its attached service module, then inflate both heat shields and point retrograde. The heat shields make excellent drogue chutes.
Deploy the actual drogue chutes at 5000 or so m altitude, then point ‘surface normal’ and stage away the heat shields. Use the four Twitch engines to touch down.
Once touched down you can use the two rear engines to assist with climbing hills. Use the KAL-1000 controller to change their orientation. The front engines are stationary, so turn them off when using the rear ones rear-facing. Bring an engineer to repack the drogues and descend into deep locations.
