Scientific paper
The scientific interest in studying the surfaces of both Titan and Triton is clear and strong, however as of yet the technologies that will enable such studies are not. Honeybee Robotics offers a novel access technology concept that could be realistically implemented in a landed mission in the coming decades. The concept is a balloon-delivered Sample Acquisition and Transfer Mechanism (SATM). The balloon-delivered SATM answers the solicitation of Focus Area 1 by providing both access to surfaces of planetary bodies with atmospheres such as Titan and Triton, and by extracting subsurface samples and transferring them to in situ scientific instrumentation. Heritage exists at Honeybee Robotics for this concept in the form of a working SATM breadboard. The presentation will communicate more fully the concept's framework, it's heritage, and how it can enable successful sampling missions. Additional information is contained in the original extended abstract.
