Hi guys! Today I present you my new heavy mod to the set 60348. The "Sleipnir" is a human-piloted rover, for exploration and sample collection, with large load capacities. It has independent suspensions that allow it to move easily on interplanetary soil. It also has 6 independent electric motors, one for each set of wheels. It has articulated arms on the front for preliminary analysis of the terrain in front of the rover itself, while on the back of the vehicle, there is a telescopic arm for collecting large samples, plus a winch. The "Sleipnir" is driven by an operator at the command post, who can be accompanied by two other astronauts, who can disembark from the vehicle and explore the surrounding area. This is made possible thanks to a decompression chamber that isolates the passenger compartment (at 1 atm) from the outside. Finally, the vehicle has a high-performance electric battery pack, rechargeable thanks to the various solar panels arranged on the vehicle. Communications between the rover and the base, or the satellite network, are permitted by the presence of several antennas and a satellite dish.
