RASSOR (Regolith Advanced Surface Systems Operational Robot) is a dual bucket drum excavator prototype that is designed to dig regolith (moon dirt). Will develop into a smaller excavator named the ISRU Pilot Excavator that will go to the moon to support the Artemis mission. Regolith gathering by Pilot Excavator can be used as building material while dug up ice can be used as a water resource.
