Digging the Dirt 🤖 Seen here is the In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) Pilot Excavator digging in the regolith bin during testing inside of Swamp Works here at Kennedy Space Center. The robot excavator, targeted to fly aboard a Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) flight in the next few years, will demonstrate excavation of up to 10 metric tons of regolith on the Moon. The ability to excavate regolith in such high quantities is a critical part of NASA’s plan to create sustainable infrastructure on the Moon. 🎥: NASA/Isaac Watson
