Solar station

Newest edition of Spire solar station is a revolutionary energetic solution for space exploration & colonization. It serves as a renewable energy source that can be drawn dirctly from replacable battery in the Spire unit. It can be deployed before even surveing the surface to prepare eventual expedition for energetic demands.
Deployable independently from orbit Spire uses weight self-balancing to perpendiculary orient itself to the planet's surface. Just before impact it engages high frequency seismic drill to penetrate the crust and firmly set itself in the soil or dirt. The calculations of drill parameters are made so that the only part of Spire's station that's above surface are the main bay doors that hide all the delicate parts beneath and safe in electromagnetic statis. Just then the main solar panels can be set to gather energy and hiding safely in seconds in case of bad weather or other hostile conditions.
