Explorer Mobile
This mobile pod is thought as a scientific mobile observatory for non-accesible places like mountains or dessertic areas. It is supposed to explore the very south of Argentina, including valleys, precipices and sleeping vulcanos. It can move on a set of wheels (in the drawing, lifted-up). After detecting the selected area, it "lands" on five extensible legs, so it becomes a temporary inhabitable building. The capsule can stand on unstable zones. Orientable sattelite rear-antennas connect 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".
