Regolith Raiser

The Regolith Raiser is a moon rover, created by me for my STEAM class. The first thing you may notice is the diamond pattern all around the rover. This is a stainless steel mesh, using an electric field caused by friction under high pressure to trap the particles of lunar dust so they cannot stick to anything else. The arms are used to pick up rock samples and put them in the container in the back, or can be used to move rock out of the way. The retractable scoop on the back also moves dirt out of the way. The solar panels are used for recharging the rover, and the fuel cells on the back are backup energy. The head of the rover is on a 360° swivel. The “eyes” are cameras, and the “nose” is a light. The antenna can receive and transmit data to/from the rover.
