Lunar Rover and landing platform tuned for Luna/Brigo-like airless moons (Though I did manage to land this on Cylero)

This demonstrates a 3-bogie springless suspension and vizzy code to assist rover stability in low gravity. Not to mention a landing program.

To use: reduce orbital speed until you get a crashing trajectory 45 deg or less. Activate AG3 for the landing program.
Once landed, activate AG2 to deploy rover.
If the rover ever flips, just close and reopen its solar panels.

(v1.1: A software glitch was fixed, camera now has night vision, RADASS is now togglable with AG10)

    @PlanetFloof Hah! Lucky.

    Well, if you enjoy the Socrates, have a look at my posts for the new Plato rover/lander. It's both a more powerful rover and I've improved my skills in making things look nice.

    I hope you know that this popped up randomly when I was looking through the main page.
