月球钻探取样技术研究进展

Review of research about lunar drilling technology

摘要:

“嫦娥5号”探测器的成功发射与采样返回，揭开了我国月球采样的序幕。面对当前月球（未来深空）探测的需求，钻进技术作为能够获取深层地质样品的最常用手段，受到越来越多的关注。然而，地球环境下的常规钻探机具与工艺在面对月球（太空）环境时并不能直接进行应用。基于此，本文就当前各国月球钻探技术的研究进展进行了广泛调研与分析，具体包括真实月壤的性能及模拟月壤的研发、月球环境对钻进的影响、月球钻探机具结构和月球钻探规程的探索等几个方面；并对未来月球钻探技术的发展进行了分析思考。

Abstract:

The successful launch of the “Chang’e 5” probe has opened the prelude to the return of samples from the moon in China. To meet the current requirements of lunar （or deep space in future） exploration， drilling technology， as the most commonly used method to obtain deep geological samples， is receiving more and more attention. However， in the face of the extreme environment of the moon （or deep space in the future）， the earth’s conventional machinery and craftsmanship cannot be directly transplanted. Therefore， this paper has conducted surveys and statistics on the current progress of lunar drilling technology in various countries， including several areas such as researching the properties of lunar soil， developing of lunar soil simulant， the impact of lunar environment acted on drilling， the structure and parameters designed for lunar drilling equipment， and optimization of lunar drilling regulations， and conducted thinking of future lunar drilling.
