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. The moon dust has static charge This is a remote controlled vehicle. Auger Design Uses adjustable Kevlar auger inside cylinder to eliminate moon dust clouds efficiently and negligible abrasive on equipment. Again, this system is shrouded using a cylinder (see TinkerCad and physical model).Will pull moon dust from base of mounds helping to flatten excavation areas and improve productivity. Biggie here. Chassis and Component Material Material will be Kevlar or fiberglass, very strong and will no attract moon dust. May incorporate static charge system Dump/Storage Kevlar shrouded auger using positive displacement fills up the storage tank and LED sensors sense level to maximize storage. Empty using a half moon bottom opens 180 degrees and dumps moon dust along a path.
