Abstract

This paper describes a study of core drilling into basalt rock in anticipation of a Mars mission. Since the objective is to maintain a sustainable drilling mission on this distant planet, we perform a methodical study to examine parameters which influence sustainability including PCD tool-wear and drilling forces.
