Mobile Laboratory
The Mobile Laboratory is designed to withstand some of the harshest frontier conditions and can be placed in some of the roughest terrain by way of towing, airdrop, or even under its own self driving GPS system. The driving system is not not the fastest, but it can move between 2-5 miles a day under its own power.
The power for the scientific equipment and engines are collected by two solar panels that are on a 360* swivel and are able to fold up or down almost 180* atop the roof. The power is collected and stored into batteries throughout the Lab to be used for different purposes. Some of the power is directed to external batteries that can be used to charge the Expeditionary Rover and other devices.
There is a range of transmission equipment on the Lab for quick connection to colonies and their main labs.
The crew does not live inside the lab, but rather usually sets up temporary living quarters with a Forward Living Pod.
So this was built in addition to my Expeditionary Rover for FebRovery 2015, but I just never got around to posting it. But here it is, 2 months late.
Enjoy.
