Major Milestone for Project LUVMI
Recently joint tests took place between The Open University and TUM in Garching, Germany. Pictured above: The integrated instrument in the thermal vacuum chamber. The drill is mounted on a linear guide to allow the drilling, heating and gas extraction in simulated lunar conditions. Simon Sheridan and Craig Pitcher visited from The OU and brought the Volatiles Analyser to mate it to the Volatiles Sampler for integrated thermal vacuum testing. Pictured above: OU Scientist Dr. S
