The monograph contains scientific grounds of a new direction in the field of development of efficient mining machines for processing rocks on Earth and on the Moon. This direction is based on a new physical principle of creation of abrasion efforts through gyroscopic force that replaces force of gravity traditionally used in modern mining machines in the process of disintegration of geomaterials. At that, restrained gyroscope is a source of the gyroscopic force and the main element of the automatic regulation system, providing sustainability of a mining machine at any mode of its operation. Gyroscopic force is independent of gravity acceleration, which gives gyroscopic mining machines an advantage over the existing mining machines on space sites, where the significance of gravity is less than on Earth and, first of all, than on the Moon. Theoretical and experimental researches of the nature of the new gyroscopic regulation principle through abrasion efforts of ore mineral resources based on the methods of hard deformable body mechanics, hard body dynamics and body system, as well as automatic control theory are used as a methodological basis of work are used as a methodological basis of this work. Over the course of theoretical works, a mathematical model of a gyroscopic mining machine (GMM) has been created. It describes the internal operating process of its functioning with account of the gyroscopic forces, providing force interaction of GMM working bodies managed by gyroscopes, and the grinded rocks; The dependences of the force effort of rock destruction, as well as GMM productivity from their constructive and technological parameters and physical- mechanical properties of rocks have been established. The results of the theoretical researches have been experimentally confirmed, and it has been established that the operating efficiency of a GMM experimental model exceeded 306 kgm/hr kW, and specific efficiency was 62 kgm/hr kW/т of the installation mass, which is 23 times and three orders more than that of the existing mining machines of a similar purpose. Technical and economic assessment of GMM use for bumpless diamond extraction from ledge ores and stock piles of enriching factories has been performed and it has been proven that a GMM with capacity of 1 tons per hour and higher is profitable, and the payback period doesn’t exceed 1 year at diamond content in the range of 0,04 to 0,1 carats/tons and higher. The project of robotized 3D-construction of a permanent moon settlement with use of GMM as an obligatory pre-condition for the extraction of minerals on the Moon, as well as the project “Preservation and revival of intelligent life on Earth after catastrophic situations of cosmic or social type” has been presented.
