Abstract
A moon-based in-situ condition-preserved coring multi-stage large-depth drilling system and method therefor. The system includes a rotary plate provided inside a lander, an in-situ condition-preserved coring tool provided on a surface of the rotary plate, a space frame provided on a surface of the rotary plate, a working platform provided on a top of the space frame, a mechanical arm provided on a bottom surface of the working platform, and a camera provided on the bottom surface of the working platform, the mechanical arm is fixedly connected to the working platform, and the camera is fixedly connected to the working platform. By controlling the mechanical arm to place the in-situ condition-preserved coring tool on the moon surface, and using the in-situ condition-preserved coring tool to sample the lunar soil on the moon surface, the coring operation problem of the lunar soil is solved.
