a direct descendant of the former rollout vehicles that helped to rollout massive rockets in the past, now a refurbished one of the large transports (Named Oddysey 0-6)
there are now 2 rollout vehicles that remain
(named Eclipse and Solstice) both eclipse and solstice are large enough to transport current vehciles produced by terraspace, where as odyssey was for smaller vehicles and was the oldest of the fleet.
FUN FACT: the ground vehicle was based in Baikonur where it was tested for its ability to climb obstacles and how logical it was, when the vehicle passed initial testing it was sent to antarctica via Baikonur and as a result the 2 large data receiving antenna are pointed towards baikonur for most of the expedition, the plan for this was to slowly climb the rugged terrain and set up a base somewhere near the coast, plans for this were dropped when after all the testing we arrived at antarctica to find the terrain was just a flat expanse of white terrain, absolutely no scientific value, so the droods were sent back to baikonur and the vehicle was left to rot and decay.

@SkyStrike I know in the juno system there's a secret pole directly at the north Pole you can find, it's a secret monument but I use RSS so it doesn't have the pole unfortunately, also what do you mean by how much to obtain this?

Heya how much to obtain this, the ice may be flat, but it has data where you wouldn't expect!

in older designs for this vehicle it included a small compartment that was raised from the main chassi, it housed a few droods that could get out and service the antenna and displays on the exterior of the vehicle, it was removed because astronauts repeatidly got sent to allah after EVAing. (basically they shot into the air at mach 1)
