Analysis of Chang’e-5 lunar core drilling process

Chang’e-5 explorer successfully acquired lunar regolith core samples from depths of greater than 1 m of lunar surface. This study analyzed the lunar core drilling process based on the telemetry data, image information, and returned samples to optimize the sampling device design and enhance the understanding of the lunar regolith. In particular, a prediction method for the projected drilling path and local terrain fitting of drilling dip angle was proposed based on the flight events recorded during the core drilling process and the image information acquired before, during, and after sampling. The results revealed that the drilling dip angle of Chang’e-5 was approximately 2.3°, and the deviation of the drilling length and depth was less than 2 mm. For continuous drilling, a fusion method based on telemetry data and image information was applied to determine the demarcation point of drilling with and without the lunar soil. The position of the demarcation point implied that the drilling point remained at approximately 6 mm loose soil, thereby lagging the action of the force response. Additionally, a characteristic parameter comparison method was proposed for the lunar and ground drilling to analyze the status of the lunar soil. Furthermore, the analysis results revealed that the majority of the Chang’e-5 drilling samples were derived from 0–73.8 cm below the lunar surface and few samples were extracted below 73.8 cm, as the drilling encountered several rocky regions. Moreover, the drilling point exhibited two prominent stratification variations at ～28.7 cm and ～70 cm below the lunar surface. Ultimately, the preliminary relationship between sample dissected position in soft tube and drilling displacement was analyzed. The segmented estimation results can support research on subsurface lunar soil.     

观测轮廓显著性耦合时的轨道根数反演方法

针对脉冲轮廓显著性数据耦合情况下无法直接根据显著性数据反演轨道根数的问题，提出了一种根据脉冲轮廓显著性数据的方差特征进行解耦，并逐步实现轨道六根数估计的方法。利用X射线脉冲星实测数据完成了基于观测轮廓显著性数据方差特征的导航验证，实验结果表明根据显著性数据的方差特征可逐次解耦显著性数据，并以方差最小准则得到轨道根数的估计值，且定位误差为7.31 km。本文方法既不依赖标准脉冲轮廓，同时适用于轨道六根数均存在偏差的实际情况，在X射线脉冲星导航的实际应用中更具优势。

Influence of lunar regolith compressibility on sampling performance of thick wall spiral drills

A 2 m class robotic drill was sent to the Moon and successfully collected and returned regolith samples in late 2020 by China. It was a typical thick wall spiral drill (TWSD) with a hollow auger containing a complex coring system to retain subsurface regolith samples. Before the robotic drill was launched, a series of laboratory tests were carried out to investigate and predict the possible drilling loads it may encounter in the lunar environment. This work presents how the sampling performance of the TWSD is affected by the regolith compressibility. Experiments and analysis during the drilling and sampling process in a simulated lunar regolith environment were conducted. The compressibility of a typical lunar regolith simulant (LRS) was measured through uni-directional compression tests to study the relationship between its inner regolith stress and bulk density. A theoretical model was established to elucidate the cutting discharge behavior by auger flights based on the aforementioned relationship. Experiments were conducted with the LRS, and the results show that the sampling performance is greatly affected by the flux of the drilled cuttings into the spiral flight channels. This work helped in scheduling reasonable drilling parameters to promote the sampling performance of the robotic drill in the Chinese Chang'E 5 mission.

针对机械打孔三维机织复合材料耳片接头的单轴拉伸破坏性能，采用多尺度分析方法研究孔边纱线破坏过程。结果表明，正交三向（ORT）机织复合材料接头孔边的连续的经纱出现大量的纵向损伤；纬纱单元出现大量横向损伤，损伤沿着孔边45°方向逐渐扩展，纬纱发生剪切失效，最终接头的损伤形式为剪切破坏。数值模拟和试验结果的误差为1.14％，验证了多尺度有限元仿真方法的正确性。孔边细观区域的纱线损伤从孔边扩展到边接头边缘。孔边纱线的分布位置不同，纱线的破坏形式虽不一样，但是不影响破坏的扩展趋势。
