ARSS- Advanced Regolith Sampler System · 模型 162616
Inspired by the development of the RASSOR project, we have considered the rotating regolith trapping bucket. ARSS uses the battery-powered motor-driven set of bucket blades grouped sequentially to ensure the smooth scooping of the regolith from the planetary surface. The buckets have cutting teeth to facilitate regolith collection and a hinged gateway to control opening and closing. While rotating in the clockwise direction, the blades scoop up the regolith and trap it. When the astronaut reverses it counter-clockwise, the material gets discharged. Calculations showed that the astronaut's reaction force is enough to serve as a cumulative counter-reaction force needed to serve the purpose. So, we didn't use the counter-rotating drums to mitigate the opposite reaction forces like the RASSOR. Finally, the previously built handlebar in the space trident toolset was updated to include three buttons near the t-collar, coupled to a wireless communication configuration to communicate with the ARSS tool. By switching the buttons, astronauts may start cutting operations and specify the direction for material discharge.
