Imbrium Lunokhod Industries Model VS-MU-333 'Lorikeet' is the next step in Imbrium Lunokhod Industries Frame System. This mass produced frame builds on the versatile and flexible mobile frame platform made popular by the VS-M/S-71 'Degei' (
flic.kr/s/aHsm37uTTm) and the VS-MX-04 'Rangi' (
flic.kr/s/aHsk4AUkEY). Developed for planetary surface operations and utility deployments, the Lorikeet will definitely not excel in zero-g environments, it's outclassed by more maneuverable specialty frames. But for deployments to planetary surfaces, the frame offers a more affordable (although less durable) alternative to the Varuna (
flic.kr/s/aHsm89p5MW) the a more extensible (and repairable) alternative to the Krivlyaka (
flic.kr/s/aHsm4d6e2v).
From a design perspective, the frame takes a ton of inspiration from both Malcolm Craig's MgN-333 (
flic.kr/p/dEFocc) and Aardvark17's Budgie (
flic.kr/p/2kgyyua) frames as well as my version of the HR-13
flic.kr/s/aHsmMLcB3m.
