Model‐based Systems Engineering (MBSE) case studies in the literature assert that there are benefits to MBSE when applied to modeling and simulating space systems. This research evaluates the benefits of an MBSE modeling and simulation approach over a traditional, non‐MBSE approach through modeling and simulation of an orbiting sample Capture and Orient Module (COM) architecture for potential Mars...
A sample acquisition and caching architecture has been developed for the proposed Mars 2020 mission that acquires samples directly into sample tubes in coring bits. Sample tubes are inserted and removed from the bits, seals are inserted into the tubes, and the tubes are placed in the sample canister. This paper describes initial algorithms, implementation, and test results where sample tube transfer...
Four sealing methods for encapsulating samples in 1 cm diameter thin-walled sample tubes were designed, along with a set of tests for characterization and evaluation of sample preservation capability for the proposed Mars Sample Return (MSR) campaign. The sealing methods include a finned shape memory alloy (SMA) plug, expanding torque plug, contracting SMA ring cap, and expanding SMA ring plug. Mechanical...
The Minimum Scale Sample Acquisition and Caching (MinSAC) architecture has been developed to enable rover-based sample acquisition and caching while minimizing the system mass. The MinSAC architecture is a version of the previously developed Integrated Mars Sample Acquisition and Handling (IMSAH) architecture. The MinSAC implementation utilizes the sampling manipulator both for sampling and sample...
The collection of an atmospheric sample from Mars would provide significant insight to the understanding of the elemental composition and sub-surface out-gassing rates of noble gases. A team of engineers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), California Institute of Technology have developed an atmospheric sample collection canister for Martian application. The engineering strategy has two basic...
An end-to-end sample acquisition and caching system has been built and tested with capabilities applicable to sample acquisition and caching for a potential 2018 mission to Mars to collect samples for eventual return to Earth. The system provides full capability to robotically perform the end-to-end sample acquisition and caching process including placing a sample tube in a coring bit, attaching the...
Sealing methods for encapsulating samples in 1 cm diameter thin-walled sample tubes applicable to future proposed Mars Sample Return missions were investigated based on power requirements, operation in the Martian environment, dust tolerance, shock and vibration, maintenance of sample integrity, hermeticity, packaging requirements, mission risk, and ability for autonomy. Techniques implemented include...
Experimental results are presented for experiments performed using a prototype rover-based sample coring and caching system. The system consists of a rotary percussive coring tool on a five degree-of-freedom manipulator arm mounted on a FIDO-class rover and a sample caching subsystem mounted on the rover. Coring and caching experiments were performed in a laboratory setting and in a field test at...
An integrated concept for core sample acquisition and caching with potential application to a Mars caching mission has been developed. The concept utilizes a five degree-of-freedom manipulator arm to deploy a rotary percussive coring tool as well as to provide alignment, feed, and preload for the tool. The tool provides coring, core break-off, core retention and bit capture and release for bit change-out...
