This was a "Sears" exclusive set sold through the 1968 catalog that featured the mighty mobile planet exploring Astro Trac and three Mobile Launch Pads. The launch pads were molded in "white" plastic similar in construction as the Cat Trac. With solid molded, non moving tank treds. However they did have cheaply made plastic wheels underneath so that it could roll along with the Astro Trac.

The only thing that makes this toy interesting is the fact that the mobile pads would mount the three original launchers. The Space probe, the Rocket Launcher and the Satellite Launcher. Making a mobile armament to be pulled by the Astro Trac. The platform of the pads had molded in positions for each of these launchers.

This set also came with a "blue" vinyl 40 x 24 inch Moonscape with three "blue" vacuum-formed plastic craters that would snap in place on the mat.
