IST Advanced Lunar Mobile Laboratory Base (ALMLB)

A small mobile laboratory designed to function both on lunar bases and be a small mobile base.

The design is not the most complex since it was designed to be a reliable and indefinite use vehicle, it does not contain a trailer since adding that part would require a larger lander or a tedious complete redesign.

Being the direct successor of the Advanced Lunar Rover although this being a more autonomous vehicle capable of exploring great distances.

With a maximum capacity of 6 droonauts and a mandatory minimum of 2 (for security reasons).

Because it is an autonomous vehicle-base it has its own propulsion system (disposable once landed) and landing legs (not disposable), the latter being foldable to be able to drive safely and comfortably. you need to turn off the gyroscope to be able to maneuver on the surface (apart from allowing efficient battery consumption).

Despite being an astromobile-lander and having an incredibly asymmetrical layout, it is quite stable to pilot, although this vehicle must be dispatched to a base in advance of the next manned launch. Even for me its landing form is very curious, although it is less tedious since developing a zero lander to send this vehicle was the initial idea, although it was discarded by logistics, size and complexity, since although a ramp could be shown, it would be a problem to lower the vehicle, even so, since there is not much fuel in the tanks, it has a auxiliary propulsion system this for the early stages of the power descent.

Notes:

Before reaching the surface it is advisable to get rid of the auxiliary propulsion system in a range of 10 to 6 kilometers, this to allow the vehicle to have a controlled descent.

Once the auxiliary propulsion is discarded, the Rover axles must be deployed (this to avoid problems when touching the surface).

Have fun :)
