A few days ago, Ironman's Mars immigration program had just been released. According to his plan, the resources required by future human immigrants to Mars will be exploited locally on Mars. The concept is good, but this is still a long way off. By contrast, the Earth’s neighbor—the Moon is closer to us and easier to develop.

No, NASA (NASA) has developed a robot RASSOR that can exploit resources on the moon. NASA called it a "blue collar robot," and it literally translates to a blue-collar robot... probably. Guess that this robot, which was specially used to detect minerals, sand, water, and other resources on the moon, is multi-tasking and hard-working.

RASSOR is the English abbreviation of "surface top layer advanced surface system operation robot". The shape of the robot resembles a small tank, and it is similar to the bomb disposal robot in "The Hurt Locker" and can climb and dig holes. Flip and so on.

For any robot that can be sent to other planets for excavation work, the first and foremost condition is that it must be small and light, so that it can be put on the rocket for launch; but in turn, it must also have a certain quality. Only in this way can we work smoothly in the environment where the gravity of the planet is smaller than the earth, such as the moon.

RASSOR's solution to this problem is to install a roller-driving roller like a "hand-held drum" at each end. The two driving wheels can be rotated in the opposite direction, so that the two driving wheels can provide each other with sufficient frictional adhesion to each other, so that the entire excavation operation can proceed smoothly.

In addition to the excavation task, RASSOR also has built in its own part experimental equipment. For example, it can extract the moon’s surface water and ice components and convert it into fuel for rockets or air for breathing by astronauts on the moon. .

RASSOR can operate efficiently in a low-gravity environment. Its rotation speed is 20 times per second, and it can fully cope with the daily construction work on the moon. This special equipment will land on the surface of the moon along with the lander carrying the RASSOR robot.

NASA's planned 2020 rover

Including RASSOR, NASA is studying a series of Mars exploration robots. Although most of them are still in R&D or theoretical verification stage, this will undoubtedly leave us with a great imagination for future space exploration.
