未来对月球的探索将需要进入地下并获取样品，以便进行科学分析，并为就地资源利用目的对水冰和矿物储量进行地面实况调查。本文介绍的LunarVader钻是一种1米级的钻屑采集系统，可用于月球地下探测。该钻机采用旋转-往复运动，减少了钻压，降低了能耗。这种钻探方法已经成功地用于以前的月球任务，如苏联的月球16号，20号和24号，以及美国的阿波罗15号，16号和17号。这些任务和钻井系统的详细描述。LunarVader钻机的被动样品采集系统将岩屑直接输送到样品杯或仪器入口。该钻头在真空室中进行了测试，并穿透了各种地层，例如-80 °C的水饱和月球土壤模拟物（JSC-1A），水冰和岩石，深度为1米。系统是...
AbstractFuture exploration of the Moon will require access to the subsurface and acquisition of samples for scientific analysis and ground truthing of water-ice and mineral reserves for in situ resource utilization purposes. The LunarVader drill described in this paper is a 1-m class drill and cuttings acquisition system enabling subsurface exploration of the Moon. The drill employs rotary-percussive action, which reduces the weight on bit and energy consumption. This drilling approach has been successfully used by previous lunar missions, such as the Soviet Luna 16, 20, and 24, and United States Apollo 15, 16, and 17. These missions and drilling systems are described in detail. The passive sample acquisition system of the LunarVader drill delivers cuttings directly into a sample cup or an instrument inlet port. The drill was tested in a vacuum chamber and penetrated various formations, such as a water-saturated lunar soil simulant (JSC-1A) at −80°C, water-ice, and rocks to a depth of 1 m. The system was ...
