The Challenge | Eeny, Meeny, Miney, Sample!

You are the astronaut/robotic mission lead tasked with bringing valuable specimens from the Moon back to Earth for further study. How will you evaluate lunar samples quickly and effectively before or while still on the mission? How will you differentiate samples of potential scientific value from less interesting material?

A Prototype of a robot using the concept of machine learning for collecting samples, dividing them and making the necessary IN-SITU characterizations (X-ray, MEB,FTIR) in less than 48hours before sharing data with NASA headquarters.
