Evaluation of Lunar Drilling Technology for Terrestrial Applications.

Abstract

This report presents results of a laboratory evaluation of a NASA-developed drill system for obtaining test core samples of concrete, rock, and soil materials for nondestructive testing. Excellent test cores from a variety of materials were obtained at drilling rates greater than normally achieved with conventional systems. Additional tests are required to assess the cost effectiveness of the system. (Author)
