A Novel Ultrasonic Sampling Penetrator for Lunar Water Ice in the Lunar Permanent Shadow Exploration Mission

This paper presents an ultrasonic sampling penetrator with a staggered-impact mode, which has been developed for the extraction of lunar water ice. A comparison of this penetrator with existing drilling and sampling equipment reveals its effectiveness in minimizing disturbance to the in situ state o...
