Ah, mole, we never had a chance to see the data you would have collected.
I hope we see a re-fly of a heat flow measurement experiment soon. I like the idea of multiple penetrators dropping from one entry vehicle, using momentum to enter the soil, and enough safety in numbers that one or more failures still lets us get one success. This seems like something that could ride along with some future stationary lander, regardless of the lander's other functions. https://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc1996/pdf/1452.pdf |
