Situation - Moon dust is abrasive and must be controlled. Our plan was to use shrouding around mechanical parts to eliminate cloud dust and break down issues. We used kevlar material to eliminate static moon dust issues This is a remote controlled vehicle. Auger Design adjustable auger inside cylinder shroud to eliminate moondust clouds efficiently and resulting in negligible abrasive on equipment. Auger positive displace dust efficiently).Pulls moondust from base of mounds helping to flatten elevation areas and improve productivity Chassis and Component Material The material will be kevlar or fiberglass due to ⅙ gravity, kevlar is very strong and will no attract moon dust as wood a steel or carbon fiber chassis. Dump/Storage Kevlar Auger positive displacement fills up the storage tank and LED sensors sense level to maximize storage. Empty using a half moon bottom that spins 180 degrees and dumps moon dust along a path.
