Scarab, a robot designed at Carnegie Mellon University for lunar prospecting, is seen on trial runs in June 2008 at Moses Lake in Washington state. The four-wheeled robot will trek to different sites on the moon using a Canadian-built drill to obtain a one-meter geologic core at each site. See Jim Oberg’s “Robot Moon Fleet on the Horizon” on page 24.
