A walking rover system with a rover, a base station, and a tether extending between the rover and the base station. The rover has a rover body, a plurality of mobilizing legs, and a plurality of stabilizing legs. The stabilizing legs have one degree of freedom and the mobilizing legs have three degrees of freedom. The mobilizing legs and the stabilizing legs may alternate around the rover body such that each of the mobilizing legs is separated from adjacent mobilizing legs by a stabilizing leg and each of the stabilizing legs is separated from adjacent stabilizing legs by a mobilizing leg. The tether is configured to transmit electricity from the base station to the rover, transmit data gathered by the rover back to the base station, and support a weight of the rover and act as a mechanical rappel line between the base station and the rover.
