NASA MARS SAMPLE RETURN
DROP TESTING TO HELP ENSURE SAFE DELIVERY TO EARTH
The Challenge:
- Part of the Mars mission will include returning a variety of rock samples to Earth
- NASA and JPL needed to drop test the prototype return canister that will house the samples
- Ability to withstand landing speeds of 100 mph when it free falls and lands in the desert of Utah
- Data acquisition systems and sensors able to operate in extreme environmental conditions
- Limited space and weight constraints for test instrumentation
- Standalone data acquisition that can meet strict power considerations
The Solution:
- DTS miniature, rugged data acquisition systems and sensors
- Advanced vibration and shock tolerant features
- SWaP-optimized for Size, Weight and Power
- Standalone system, runs on battery
- Collect physical measurements including: acceleration, vibration, strain & temperature
- Ability to record for extended periods of time in remote locations
- Data writes to non-volatile memory for safe retrieval
