I am submitting a concept that use a ‘Ground Engagement Tool/Filter Tool’ with in-build filtering system. This will filter out 1-2cm of rocks and also has a compartment for collecting less than 1cm regolith.

While loading sample container(100cm3) from filtering tool, 1-2cm rocks at top of tool would start filling up. Any excess rocks collected will fall off as overflow. Towards the end, material with less than 1cm will fill up any voids in container.

Robotic arm in lander will close the lid of sample container. Then the container is detached from rover and secured for transportation back to earth.

Details are provided in PPT snapshots. Please review and provide feedback.

PS: I am working on a variation of this concept and will be submitting soon.
