Sounds like a new entry in that venerable old film series: "Carry On Orbiting Mars!"

Yep - We build 'em big here in Europe. That would be the 30k model, dimensions approx 30x15x20km, mass ca 2 megaton. Context image with scale of Mawrth Vallis here.

The plan is to put Mars under the rover and just turn the planet while the rover stays still

It might be a bit big, but it'll be handy for getting Mars core samples.
