The Lunar Soil Extractor (LSE) uses state-of-the-art technology to extract lunar soil on the moon. The LSE uses a high-powered vacuum to suck the lunar soil into the collection bin. The collection bin is stainless steel to prevent the dirt from escaping. The body of the LSE will be made up of Carbon-Fiber which is very light and robust, which will help the portability of the robot. The robot uses a solar panel, angled at 45 degrees, to power the robot. When the LSE is at total capacity, it will notify the user that the collection bin is full. The LSE also uses rubber wheels to help grip the Lunar Soil.
