RASSOR Concept · 模型 267770
Lunar regolith has a composition with high amounts of iron consisting of meteoric material, lunar basalt, and minerals of the regolith. The proposed model exploits the high iron content of the regolith using electromagnets on the bucket drum to "trap" the high iron regolith in an electromagnetic field. Testing of powdered terrestrial basalt as an analog for lunar basalt with similar iron content indicates that a magnetic field's attraction to retain the material (regolith_analog_test.jpg). The concept drum consists of scoops with two storage silos for each bucket scoop. Capping each silo is high magnetic permeable material to induce the magnetic field over the entire diameter of the silo to increase capture efficiencies. Attached to the endcap is an electromagnet. The process for obtaining lunar regolith is to collect material through the scoop while powering the electromagnet, thus pulling the material into the storage silos and possibly compacting the material for high-density collection. Unload is accomplished by powering off the electromagnet and reversing the drum rotation.
