It's big... It's about 12' x 12' .. there are two drones that could move it that came in with stage 2. ( I thank they were called mutt and jeff -- I don't know why but that seems like it was what we called them ) If both drones are used they could pull the lander #1. They could not pull it fast but it can be moved.. Where you move it will tell if it can be done over a weekend.. the probes could have the moving stopped for the transmission to be send .. the sending and getting of the messages is short as long as there are on images .. less than 15 min. total. If I know when that is I can see if we could get the transmission sent in that time.. ( but I can't pick any time I will have to be sure that the time is ok to use the Equipment. .. so I will need to know before hand..)
