Abstract

A design scheme of lunar surface impact type penetrator using the soil structure penetrating principle is put forward to realize in-situ investigation of lunar regolith, stressing its operating principle and mechanism and carrying out multi set scheme design and analysis. The prototype system is developed and demonstrated to prove the possibility of penetrating the lunar regolith. Some suggestions are also put forward for future in-situ investigation of lunar regolith..
