Alternatively, you could construct your ion probe entirely out of batteries, and provide only minimal power generation facilities. You'll just have to operate it in very short bursts. :P

I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.

That should work flawlessly for those hour long burns.

More practical would be a nuclear reactor or several.

[GreatWyrmGold] gets a little crown. May it forever be his mark of Cain; let no one argue pointless subjects with him lest they receive the same.

Fun fact: That rover has more energy storage than the entire MunBase.

Solution: Construct a MunBase entirely out of rovers.

LAY THEM END TO END UNTIL THEY WRAP AROUND THE MUN, THEN LAUNCH IT INTO SPACE!

7/10 Has much more memorable sigs but casts them to the realm of sigtexts.

Indeed, I do this.

Crap...well that might be enough to make a crater full of rovers right?

A couple kilometers is not that far in KSP.

Perhaps, at the very least, you could have a rover train?

I meant turning. At all. Too many things could go so terribly wrong.
