I made rovers before, but I don't understand how i'm supposed to land them on a planet along with a spaceship. For example I tried to take a Spaceship to the mun, and land it, but i don't know how to release the rover from inside the spaceship without crashing it. Any one knows how to do this? Sorry I'm a noob
#How to make a spaceship that can hold a rover and how to deploy it?

lost tide
skycrane, mount radially and decouple, put it inside a cargo bay, etc etc.

One way is make a small rover to fit inside a 2.5m service bay, and put fuel tanks above the service bay, and some radially mounted engines. you will need landing gear, but to deploy the rover you want to retract landing gear, so rover cam smoothly drive out. this is what i did for a tylo rover.

oh cool

fresh rover
you could do a fuel tank up top, the rover under it and then use side engines'
the thud ones

That’s what I did

not in cargo bay tho

ah i see
cargo bay can help if its high gravity, and the weight of the decent module might crush the lander
tho u can just have good enough landing gear around it ig

the high gravity would damage the rover, and for some reason putting landing gear around it still desstroyed some wheels. so i just attached some tiny removable boosters around it and it kinda worked? thanks anyways

tylo gravity is still less than kerbin gravity though

true, somehow my parts are weak enough to break at that g-force still

also make sure landing gear low enough so rover wheels dont touch the ground

also make sure landing gear low enough so rover wheels dont touch the ground
taking into account landing gear suspension

what if i just put the rover at the bottom of the rocket (in cargo bay) and dropped it, the gears should hold that much
impact force
don't know why i didn't do that yet 🤦♂️

what i do is retract landing gear after landing so the service bay is flush with the surface

OH?
so you open the landing gear when you touchdown
is that what you mean?

well, open service bay, and retract landing gear, landing gear cant be opened
