| ID No : | 25 Edit | Title: | A Review of Possible Mining Applications in Space |
| Summary / Review : |
Author's abstract: "... This chapter reviews the technology for the first steps in lunar resource recovery -- those of mining. The topic is covered in three main categories: engineering properties of lunar regolith, surface mining and excavation, and underground mining. The chapter also contains a brief discussion of in-situ processes. The etxt describes mining technology ranging from simple digging and hauling vehicles (the "strawman") to more specialized technology including underground methods. In-site processes -- chemical and thermal -- are identified to stimulate further thinking by future researchers." - MP
