Outline of Final Research Achievements

We are considering a tether-type sampling system that can be used as a future technology for asteroid sample return. In this research, experiments and numerical analyses were carried out with the aim of developing a device to acquire a stratigraphic sample in which a circular, tube-shaped collector (a corer) penetrates into the surface layer of an asteroid.
In order to enhance the penetration performance of this technology, we developed and prototyped a corer based on Japanese swordsmithing technology. A numerical simulation was carried out by finite element analysis simultaneously with a penetration test. A penetration test machine was used with a falling weight onto simulated asteroid surface made of lightweight concrete. The results of these analyses can be expected to contribute to the elucidation of penetration dynamics and the improvement of its performance.
