This senior design course webpage was created for student teams in a capstone design course who will be designing a lunar regolith excavator.  Your project is sponsored and defined by NASA's Exploration Systems Mission Directorate (ESMD)http://www.nasa.gov/directorates/esmd/home/index.html.  The  NASA technical monitor is Robert P. Mueller of Kennedy Space Center (KSC), who is NASA’s Surface Systems Lead Engineer.  Your project directive is to "investigate concepts for Lunar Regolith excavation equipment and propose solutions in the form of completed designs and prototypes.”
