This photo depicts a prototype lunar soil/oxygen processing system located on a remote Pacific volcanic crater that replicates conditions found on the lunar surface of the moon.
The conveying system features twin AFC screw feeders specifically designed to operate in these conditions. It delivers lunar soil to the oxygen processing system at a controlled rate of feed under the extreme variables of both temperature and zero atmosphere.
The proprietary design twin lift screw feeders were provided as part of this system to ASRC Aerospace, Kennedy Space Center, a leader in the support, design and development of new technology for the future of America’s Aerospace programs.
