Sub-Surface Soil Sampling with Penetrators

This paper summarizes the techniques currently under study at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory for using micro-penetrators to sample subsurface soil and perform analysis on that sample. The work is in conjunction with the New Millennium Mars Microprobe Program (or Deep Space-2), a four kilogram micro-penetrator that will arrive at Mars in December 1999.
