"Triumph" rover ready to launch, testing complete
Year 15, Day 142 The KSA has finished their work on yet another project, and this one is HUGE... Figuratively. A rover to Duna, called Triumph! The rover is a first of its kind mission to Duna to uncover the secrets of the red planet and test for future rovers on the planet. Basically, to determine the feasibility of larger rovers on Duna later down the line, ones that could actually find out even more about the planet. It also has aboard several tools to study the surface of Duna. This includes its Spectrometer for Atmosphere and Ground Survey (SAGS), cameras, and thermometer unit. It also has onboard things critical for its function, including the solar panel "roof" and CommNet short antenna. And with these things all functioning together into a gold foil covered box with wheels, we get a beautiful rover ready for the harsh conditions on Duna! It's likely that within the month, Triumph will be launched and sent to Duna, hopefully with landing success. May we continue ...
