In the article “The ExoMars drill unit” (2019), the ExoMars was designed to acquire mineral samples in various types of soil to a depth of two-meter. The features of the drill unit are a drill tool, three extension rods, a rotation-translation unit, and a drill box. The function of the drill tool is to acquire a minimum of 17 mineral samples by penetrating different types of soil. The extension rods help increase the length of the drill. Each extension rod is 500 mm each. According to a report, The Drill and Sampling System for the ExoMars Rover (2010), the rotation translation unit enables the drill box to be positioned horizontally for stowage, vertically for drilling, and at an inclined position for sample extraction. The sample is extracted to the MArs Multispectral Imager for Subsurface Studies for analysis. The drill box acts as a housing to contain the extension rods and the backup drill tool. With features such as the drill tool, extension rods, and drill box the ExoMars drill ...

The ExoMars drill unit was designed to acquire mineral samples in various types of soil to a depth of two metre. The features of the drill unit are a drill tool, a rotation-translation unit, and a drill box. With the features stated above. The ExoMars drill unit will not have an issue acquiring the samples on mars. The drill unit can drill to an acceptable depth while not being on levelled ground. According to “First deep drilling success for ExoMars’’ (2021), the drill unit was able to drill to a depth of 1.7 m on earth while successfully collecting the sample. Drilling on earth is more difficult than drilling on mars as the test model must be suspended on a device to recreate the gravity on mars. In addition, drilling took place on a platform tilted seven degrees of the ground to stimulate a non-vertical position. Thus, having pass the test, the drill unit will not have any issues drilling on tilted surfaces to acquire the mineral samples on Mars. The drill unit may not be able t...
