Abstract

The BiBlade sampling chain has been developed for use in a potential Comet Surface Sample Return mission in a touch-and-go mission architecture. This paper describes the BiBlade sampling chain, an implementation of the system and experimental results. The system includes a BiBlade sampling tool, a robotic arm, a sample measurement system, a sample transfer system, and simulants.
