Thermal Simulations of Drilling of Cryogenic Lunar Soils Containing Water Ice

Thermal Simulations of Drilling of Cryogenic Lunar Soils Containing Water Ice

Water ice is an important water source in lunar polar soil. Drilling and sampling lunar polar soil are important engineering tasks of lunar exploration. In view of the influence of temperature rise on the quality of samples obtained by drilling, the heat transfer and temperature rise in drilled ice-...
