1.) Compare the energy required to extract 1 kg of ³He from lunar regolith at 700 ^oC to that required at 900 ^oC. Use the data presented in class for the evolution as a function of temperature and be clear about your assumptions on the thermal properties of lunar regolith

2.) Reproduce L. Haskin's calculation on the amount of food one could produce from the Solar Wind Volatiles in 1 m³ of lunar regolith.

3.) Discuss the engineering considerations that you would have to consider if you wanted to gather the maximum amount of nitrogen from lunar regolith.
