It contains mining and recording materials to search for alien life under the surface of the moon. Excelsior – from the 1918 Danish film Himmelskibet (A Trip to Mars), "The film that marked the beginning of the space opera subgenre of science fiction." – Phil Hardy [20] F-302 Mongoose – air/space/hyperdrive strike craft in Stargate SG-1 [21]
A mining vehicle, "with a HORTA mounted, can survey much faster and more accurately than manual surveys. It takes the truck 120 minutes to survey a 1.6-km-long drift, recording 1,500 points every 60 cm. This compares with a manual survey of the same distance that takes 180 hours, and records only five points every 6 m.

The second moon that Earth has captured in its orbit this month is an asteroid called 2024 PT5. Mini-moons like this could be ideal targets for asteroid mining to send humans deeper into space ...
The team developed and tested a spacecraft prototype that harvests local water ice "for eternal exploration of space" using steam as propulsion. [8] [9] [10] The system employs a drill to mine and extract water ice from the surface soil , purify the water, and heat it to be used as compressed steam for propulsion. Refueling can be repeated ...
