Thermal Simulations of Drilling of Cryogenic Lunar Soils Containing Water Ice

Aerospace, 2023
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

Drilling operations for the South Pole Ice Core (SPICEcore) project [PDF]

Annals of Glaciology, 2021
Over the course of the 2014/15 and 2015/16 austral summer seasons, the South Pole Ice Core project recovered a 1751 m deep ice core at the South Pole. This core provided a high-resolution record of paleoclimate conditions in East Antarctica during the ...
