Conceptual design of equipment to excavate and transport regolith from the lunar maria [PDF]
NASA hopes to have a manned lunar outpost completed by 2005. In order to establish the base, regolith must be excavated from the lunar surface. Regolith will be used as a source for life-supporting elements and as radiation shielding for the lunar ...

How successful were the lunar sampling tools: Implications for sampling Mars [PDF]
Like the Mars Sample Return endeavor, the Apollo lunar-sample program began with definition of strategy for sample collection and of scientific requirements for sampling hardware design. Several lessons can be illustrated by specific tools. The evolution
