- Drop must contain a control unit
- Drop must contain at least 3 scientific instruments
Joolino V, VII, IX and XI

Joolinia X
- Launch a Rover for landing on Laythe
- Must have enough electric storage to run overnight
- Must have lights
- Must contain at least 4 Scientific Instruments
- Must have a dish antennea
- Must land on Crescent Bay
Joolinia XI, XVI, XX, XXI

- Try not to get mad at me for these repetitive challenges
Conclusion
What KerbX found in the Joolian system was so intriguing to them, they decided to enhance their efforts to explore the area, which led to many more rovers, probes, and satalites. Eventually, the Astronomers decided that it wasn’t worth the effort anymore to keep transporting fuel and other necessities to the area, so the idea for Joolinol SS was proposed
