C-4 Experimental Study of Corer Projection and Sample Recovery In Tethered Sampling Method Junichi Nishida, Ken Fujiwara and Saburo Matunaga (Tokyo Institute of Technology) Hajime Yano, Koji Nakaya and Osamu Mori (JAXA/ISAS) Abstract The tether sampling method is a new minor-body sampling method proposed by the authors. It consists of three phases; 1) shooting a corer to penetrate the surface of a minor-body, 2) pulling up the corer with tether using a reel mechanism, 3) recovering the corer into a storage box. In this paper, design consideration of the corer is focused on. We conducted preliminary experiment of corer projection to examine the effect of corer parameters on the collision. In addition, we proposed dual layer corer and examined its performance. In this paper, a series of experiments and their results are introduced. テザーサンプリング法におけるコアラー射出と回収の 実験的研究 西田淳一,藤原謙,松永三郎( 東京工業大学) 矢野創,中谷幸司,森治JAXA ) 摘要 テザーサンプリング法は,次世代の小天体サンプルリターンミッションを実現するための新しい技て,著者らが提案した方法である.テザーング法は, 術とし
