I. Summary
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
The 2007 Lunar Regolith Excavation
Challenge promotes the development of
new technologies to excavate lunar
regolith. Excavation is a necessary first
step towards lunar resource utilization,
and the unique physical properties of
lunar regolith make excavation a
difficult technical challenge. Advances
in lunar regolith extraction have the
potential to contribute significantly to
the nation’s space exploration
operations. Teams competing in the
2007 Lunar Regolith Excavation
Challenge will build autonomously
operating systems to excavate lunar
regolith and deliver it to a collector.
This Challenge will be conducted in a
‘‘head-to-head’’ competition format.
Teams will be challenged to excavate
and deliver as much regolith as possible
in 30 minutes.
II. Challenge Basis and Prize Amount
The 2007 Lunar Regolith Excavation
Challenge total purse of $250,000 will
go the winning teams excavating the
most regolith above 150 kilograms.
