A rover can include a spherical shall and an avionics hub. The spherical shell defines a spherical volume and having an inner surface and an outer surface. The avionics hub is disposed within the spherical volume. The avionics hub includes an avionics shell, a data acquisition unit, and a plurality of motortrain assemblies. The avionics shell is disposed with the spherical volume of the spherical shell. The data acquisition unit is disposed within the avionics shell. Each motortrain assembly includes a motorized wheel extending at least partially through the avionics shell and in contact with the inner surface of the spherical shell, the plurality of motortrain assemblies configured to rotate the spherical shell relative to the avionics shell to move the rover.
