22 results about "Planetary surface" patented technology

A planetary surface is where the solid (or liquid) material of the outer crust on certain types of astronomical objects contacts the atmosphere or outer space. Planetary surfaces are found on solid objects of planetary mass, including terrestrial planets (including Earth), dwarf planets, natural satellites, planetesimals and many other small Solar System bodies (SSSBs). The study of planetary surfaces is a field of planetary geology known as surface geology, but also a focus of a number of fields including planetary cartography, topography, geomorphology, atmospheric sciences, and astronomy. Land (or ground) is the term given to non-liquid planetary surfaces. The term landing is used to describe the collision of an object with a planetary surface and is usually at a velocity in which the object can remain intact and remain attached.

A rope-driven plant root sheath anchoring mechanism

This invention relates to the field of anchoring technology and discloses a rope-driven, plant root sheath-inspired anchoring mechanism, comprising: a hollow anchoring drill bit; and a root sheath anchoring assembly disposed inside the anchoring drill bit. The root sheath anchoring assembly includes two flexible drill rods, one end of which extends to the outside of the anchoring drill bit for reinforcing the anchoring drill bit's anchoring to the planetary surface. This rope-driven, plant root sheath-inspired anchoring mechanism, by drawing inspiration from the structural characteristics of plant root sheaths, uses flexible drill rods as anchoring components. When extended, these rods can penetrate deep into the planetary surface like plant roots. Furthermore, the barbs on the drill rod surface pop out and unfold after extension, further enhancing the anchoring force. The biomimetic design allows it to better adapt to the complex terrain and geological conditions of the asteroid surface, improving the stability and reliability of the anchoring and effectively solving the problem of weak anchoring that often occurs with traditional anchoring devices on asteroid surfaces.
