Abstract
⺠The MPE is a sample fetching rover operating on the Moon's south pole. ⺠It can collect regolith samples from surface, subsurface and locally shaded areas. ⺠The MPE can provide access to soils which possibly contain lunar volatiles. ⺠A MPE model payload is defined, comprising a camera payload and a mole as sampler. ⺠The MPE has a four-wheeled active chassis and is powered by solar generators.
