This vehicle is thought as a scientific mobile observatory for non-accessible places like mountains or desertic areas. It is supposed to explore the very south of Argentina, including valleys, precipices and sleeping volcanos. It can move on wheels (in the drawing, lifted-up). After detecting the selected area, it "lands" on five extensible legs, so it becomes a temporary pod. The capsule can stand on unstable zones. The orientable satellite rear-antenna connects the lab with the central laboratory. The internal space is divided in two: commands and instruments at the front; bedroom, kitchen and bathroom facilities at the back, close to the entrance. This scheme belongs to the "Mobile Project Series".   EN   ES
