BiBlade Sample Acquisition and Survivability High-speed Video, 2016
11/09/2016
Highspeed video replayed approximately 1/170th speed showing sample acquisition of high-end expected strength comet simulant and validating robustness of impact into a high strength/rigidity surface via survivability of the sampler mechanism impacting a concrete cinder block. The overload/isolation springs can be seen compressing when the blades strike a rigid surface or when excess energy remains after an acquired sample. (2:12)
