Research on Design of Creepy-Boring Type Subsurface Investigation Device for Planetary Exploration

Abstract

This paper investigates the relevant information of planetary exploration, and analysis to obtain that the long-term and wealth scientific investigation in the greater depth will be a new research problem in the field of planetary exploration. In order to solve this problem, this paper puts forward a creepy-boring type subsurface investigation device for planetary exploration, and mainly focus on the study of its mechanism design. Finally, this paper successfully developed the creepy-boring type robot and its test platform for feasibility verification of the scheme and performance test for the prototype. The device has significance reference for China future planetary exploration mission.
