ConTech Explorer III Prospector's Boat (Civilian
Spaceship)
The Explorer III was designed and marketed by ConTech of Glisten as a dedicated auxiliary craft for asteroid prospectors. The Explorer III is intended to fit into the air/raft bay of a standard Type S scout ship, the most common vessel modified for prospecting. The Explorer includes a powerful densitometer for examination of prospective asteroids, and a cutting laser and a quartet of external robotic arms to allow samples to be gathered without the necessity of vacc suit work. No long term accommodations are ordinarily provided, but a bunk could be installed in the cargo space allotment, if desired.
