The present application envisages a vapor collection system usable on extraterrestrial celestial bodies for collecting target gaseous atoms and molecules (species) floating in a shielded environment having a pressure equal to or less than 1 bar. In one embodiment, a shielded environment is defined within a cover and skirt arrangement that lies over granular soil, in one embodiment, the granular soil is a topsoil layer. Advantageously, the topsoil layer beneath the cover is substantially free of loose rocks that can reduce mining efficiency and/or obstruct sealing of the cover from the surface of the topsoil layer. Thus, certain embodiments contemplate the use of a zero tailing device to exploit a topsoil layer that utilizes a front plough to clear loose rock at a location on the topsoil layer where a cover is to rest, and uses a redeposition blade to collect and redeposit the cleared loose rock behind the cover.

    本申请设想一种可在地外天体上使用的蒸汽收集系统,用于收集在压力等于或小于1巴的屏蔽环境中漂浮的目标气态原子和分子(物质)。屏蔽环境限定在盖和裙部装置内,该盖和裙部装置位于颗粒状土壤上面,在一个实施例中,颗粒状土壤是表土层。有利的是,盖下面的表土层实质上不含会降低开采效率和/或妨碍盖与表土层表面密封的松散岩石。因此,某些实施例设想使用零尾矿装置来开采表土层,该装置利用前犁清除表土层上将要搁置盖的位置处的松散岩石,并使用再沉积叶片将清除的松散岩石收集并再沉积到盖的后方。
