  • Auto-gopher-2 - wireline deep sampler driven by percussive piezoelectric actuator and rotary EM motors 
    Bar-Cohen, Yoseph; Zacny, Kris; Badescu, Mircea; Lee, Hyeong Jae; Sherrit, Stewart; Bao, Xiaoqi; Freeman, David; Paulsen, Gale L.; Beegle, Luther (Pasadena, CA: Jet Propulsion Laboratory, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, 2016, 2016-06-05)
    Two of the key purposes of future NASA’s solar system exploration of planetary bodies are the search for potentially preserved bio-signatures and for habitable regions. To address these objectives, a biologically inspired ...
  • Auto-Gopher-II – A wireline rotary-hammer ultrasonic drill that operates autonomously 
    Badescu, Mircea; Bar-Cohen, Yoseph; Sherrit, Stewart; Jackson, Shannon; Metz, Brandon; Simonini, Alan; Bao, Xiaoqi; Zacny, Kris; Mellerowicz, Bolek; Kim, Daniel; Paulsen, Gale L. (Pasadena, CA: Jet Propulsion Laboratory, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, 2018, 2018-03-04)
    An important challenge of exploring the solar system is the ability to penetrate at great depths the subsurface of planetary bodies for sample collection. The requirements of the drilling system are minimal mass, volume ...
  • Auto-Gopher-II – an Autonomous Wireline Rotary-Hammer Ultrasonic Drill 
    Badescu, Mircea; Lee, Hyeong Jae; Sherrit, Stewart; Bao, Xiaoqi; Bar-Cohen, Yoseph; Jackson, Shannon; Chesin, Jacob; Zacny, Kris; Paulsen, Gale (Pasadena, CA: Jet Propulsion Laboratory, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, 2017, 2017-03-26)
    Developing technologies that would enable future NASA exploration missions to penetrate deeper into the subsurface of planetary bodies for sample collection is of great importance. Performing these tasks while using minimal ...
  • The Auto-Gopher: a wireline rotary-percussive deep sampler 
    Bar-Cohen, Yoseph; Zacny, Kris; Badescu, Mircea; Lee, Hyeong Jae; Sherrit, Stewart; Bao, Xiaoqi; Paulsen, Gale L.; Beegle, Luther (Pasadena, CA: Jet Propulsion Laboratory, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, 2016, 2016-04-11)
    The Auto-Gopher was developed to access regions on planetary bodies that potentially preserve biosignatures or are presently habitable that are vital to meeting search for life exploration objectives.
  • BiBlade Sampling Tool Validation for Comet Surface Environments 
    Backes, Paul; Moreland, Scott; Rehnmark, Fredrik; Badescu, Mircea; Zacny, Kris; Wei, Robert; Adams, Grayson; Toda, Risaku; Vieira, Peter; Carey, Elizabeth; Krylo, Robert; Bailey, Erik; Seubert, Carl; Conway, Dylan; Aaron, Seth; Manohara, Harish; Peters, Gregory; Mongelli, Marco; Riccobono, Dario (Pasadena, CA: Jet Propulsion Laboratory, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, 2017, 2017-03-04)
    The BiBlade sampling chain was developed for use in a potential Comet Surface Sample Return mission. Following prior versions of the sampling tool, a new tool was developed and validated to TRL 6. Sample acquisition testing ...
