Abstract

This paper is devoted to the problem of soil sampling with the use of a manipulator during the Phobos-Grunt mission. The principle of operation accepted for the chosen engineering solution, as well as the construction of the manipulator sampling device, mechanical gears, and the manipulator as a whole, are considered; brief technical specifications are given. The issue of the selection of the material as an analog of the Phobos regolith for ground-based tests is discussed; the test results and principles of the manipulator operation and control are presented; design features of the Lunar manipulator are considered.
