The landing gear is a wheeled landing device able to land at decent horizontal relative velocity (in a given direction). They dumping the vertical impulse of the landing without any damage. Of course at too great landing speed, running speed or weigh can damage these parts. They can be repaired by kerbonauts on EVA.

The landing gear has some tweakables can be employed in VAB and SPH:

  • Start Rectracted/Deployed
  • Adjusting the color of the lights:
Light R - red

Light B - blue
  • Disable/Enable Brakes
  • Lock/Unlock Steering (during missions too)
