Deep Mole
Equipped with seismic pulse drills and a reinforced chassis, the Deep Mole bores into the dense core layers of asteroids and moons to access rare mineral deposits that surface-level drones cannot reach. Its advanced sensor package automatically identifies and flags previously unknown deposit pockets.
