LUNDUST - orbital excavator for lunar prospectors
The paper deals with regolith remote excavation that means nonstop mining and delivery of lunar soil (regolith). Lundust system can mine regolith and accumulate it on orbit without help from transport&mining infrastructure on the Moon. This provides for development of space industry and commercialization of cosmonautics. Lundust system begins to produce marketable oxygen and construction materials from regolith as soon as a moon satellite is put into orbit.
