A press release from the Nailsworth Centre For Space Research (NCFSR) has just arrived on the Nailsworth Newsdesk.

It shows the latest 'Surface Roamer' vehicle to be rolled out of the engineering sheds at the centre. NCFSR say that they have spent a two figure sum on the vehicle, most of which was spent on fixing a puncture. A few technical difficulties had to be overcome with the welds that hold the aerials onto the roamer, which also added to the cost.

NCFSR would not say which planet the roamer is to be deployed on, but various leaks from the centre over the last few months indicate that it may be a 'c' class planet somewhere in the Devron Sector. The NCFSR shuttle rocket is due to carry the sophisticated planet roamer some time next month.
