Tochtli III — Modular Lunar Excavation and Processing for the Next Generation of Space Infrastructur
Tochtli III is a modular, autonomous system designed for efficient excavation and processing of lunar regolith. Built to handle up to 25 kg of material per cycle, it features three core modules:
- Excavation & Cargo (E&C): Surface regolith excavation with integrated storage.
- Double Centrifugal Sieving (DCS): Centrifugal sizing and classification for in-situ resource utilization.
- Directed Kinetic Attrition (DKA): Particle-on-particle attrition for advanced material conditioning.
Each module is designed to operate independently or in combination, allowing Tochtli III to adapt to different mission needs — from excavation-only tasks to full processing workflows for lunar construction and oxygen extraction applications.
