“…The regolith of a planet contains abundant energy and resources and contains a variety of information about the planet. One of the main objectives of current deep space missions is to obtain regolith samples, which can be used for the exploration and acquisition of planetary resources and to lay the foundation for the construction of future second homes (Bonnet et al, 2018; Cheng et al, 2021; Liu et al, 2005; Mumm et al, 2008; Siljeström et al, 2021).…”

A planetary penetrator is a kind of machine that can use its special structure to independently penetrate an exoplanet and sample it for storage. It is a hot research topic in the world and has important development potential in the field of deep space exploration. Based on the analysis of relevant literature, this paper classifies and compares various representative planetary penetrator projectiles around the current research status. The development progress and key technologies of the planetary penetrator are analyzed, the current technical challenges are summarized, and the development trend of the planetary penetrator has prospected. The planetary probe has a broad application prospect, and its development will provide technical support for humans to establish extraterrestrial habitat, and play an important role in the field of deep space exploration. Currently, planetary penetrator research is still in its infancy, and the field is full of possibilities that need to be explored and improved.

“…This requires icy regolith samples to be sealed within miniature ovens and analysed via Journal Pre-proof stepped or continuous heating. While dust mitigation strategies do currently exist, as used on NASA's MSL rover (Kennedy et al 2006, Mumm et al 2008 and the upcoming ExoMars rover (Richter et al 2015), these involve relatively complex, large-scale sample handling hardware and are therefore prohibited by the mass limits of PROSPECT. Therefore, a lowmass system with heritage design has been selected based on an improved version of the oven carousel from the Rosetta Philae SD2 sampling system (Finzi et al 2007).…”
