This Rover is for Cylero (as the name suggests)
I borrowed & modified a few parts from another craft, but I have learned a lot building & testing all the systems... I hope you enjoy it!

Instructions for launching & landing:
- If you launch properly & efficiently (start pitching early), you should end up in a 0 degree Low Droo Orbit (between 60-100 km) with over 2,000 m/s of delta-V left in your second stage (just under 40% fuel left). More than enough for a Trans-Cylero Injection Burn during the proper launch window.
- Separate the spacecraft from the second stage after the burn, the small Cruise Stage with solar panels has plenty of fuel & delta-V for any correction burns needed along the way to Cylero.
- Once you enter Cylero’s Sphere of Influence, aim for a periapsis of about 15-17 kms above the surface for the best angle of atmospheric entry.
- Separate from the Cruise Stage a few hundred kms above Cylero before entering the atmosphere (STAGE 7) * Make sure you remain Locked Velocity Retrograde from here until landed, I also recommend locking the Brakes On to prevent the Rover from sliding downhill in case you land on a slope...
- Atmospheric Entry: let the Heat Shield slow your speed down to around 1,000-1,200 m/s (+or-), then open the Parachutes (STAGE 8)
- When your speed has slowed to around 200-250 m/s (+or-), drop the Heat Shield. It’s done its job and is no longer needed (STAGE 9)
- * Make sure your Throttle is set to 100% and you are Locked Velocity Retrograde, when your Altitude reaches around 1,750m AGL (+or-), separate the Rover from the protective shell & parachutes for the powered descent (STAGE 10)
- Bring the Rover down smoothly until you hover just above the surface (adjust the throttle as needed during the last 100-300 meters or so to control the rate of descent) then separate the engines section from the Rover (STAGE 11)

Controls:
AG 1 : Mast = Slider 1 / Slider 2
AG 2 : Antennas = Slider 1 / Slider 2
AG 3 : Rover Power = [Analog Sticks] Wheels Motors (Throttle) / Turn (Roll left+right)
AG 4 : Cargo Hold / Sensor = Slider 1
AG 5 : Manipulator Arm = Slider 1 / Slider 2
AG 6 : Drill = Slider 1
AG 7 : Front Lights
AG 8 : Rover RCS (use to flip back up in case you fall over)

Translate Forward = Wheels Motors Turbo
Translate Up/Down = Suspension / Tilt
