The small adjustable angle scoop consisted of a small, pivoting head mounted on a shaft which could be connected to an extension handle. The scoop was designed to be either pushed or pulled. Astronauts used this type of scoop on the Apollo 15 mission, the first mission to use a "large tool carrier" mounted on the Lunar Roving Vehicle. This item was used for training.

NASA transferred this scoop to NASM in 1974.
