Physical Design:
- 8in vector wheels for traction, maneuverability, and moving over terrain
- Dimensions: 22.3in x 15in x 6.1in, weighing <30lbs
- Scoops up regolith with intake consisting of helix spiral that rotates with a fine grain scooper using a passive trapdoor that allows regolith to enter and closes using gravity
- Can be recharged using solar panels
Operational Design:
- Can hold around 20in^3 of regolith
- Will carry medium amount of dust per trip
Procedure for Dust Mitigation:
1. Passive technologies - Nanocoatings + Dust Brushings
2. Active technologies - Electrostatic dust removal
3. Mechanisms such as the intake would move at a slower pace with more methodical movements
4. Electronics and other similar items would be covered in additional protection as to reduce potential for failure
