Emily has added a great MSL write-up on the PS's blog:
http://www.planetary.org/blogs/emily-lakda...ll-problem.html "The engineering team has explored other methods of sample delivery, including dropping all the drilled sample on the ground and then attempting to scoop it up. If they can get the sample into the scoop, that puts it into CHIMRA for ordinary delivery. Unfortunately, the speed of the scoop works against this." Is there anything stopping them from dropping the sample directly into the scoop (rather than dropping on the ground, then scooping)? Dean |
