Additional information
Deep planetary core samples, which can have more scientific value than augered dust, can be obtained by using an ultrasonic drilling tool to drive a coring bit or by deploying a completely toroidal ultrasonic tool. This paper presents experimental results to contrast both the delivered impulse and rock-cutting performance of each architecture, including the effects of tool-mass-bit dynamics and overall drill-bit mass. It also defined an architecture that provided proof-of-concept data that contributed directly to a major grant (EUFP7 UPCD/607015 - €2.5M), and resulted in an invited seminar at NASA-JPL 2010 (ssherrit@jpl.nasa.gov).
