Preliminary analysis of the ballistic parameters of a penetrator for ecological studies
Abstract
Quite often, it is necessary to perform some instrumentation geophysical or ecological studies at hardly accessible sites of the Earth. The paper is dedicated to an optional solution of the problem, namely the design of a penetrator for ecological and geophysical studies. Based on the expertise with the development of a penetrator accelerometer for studying of the Mars planet, analysis and preliminary calculations of some major technico-operational parameters of a penetrator with geophysical equipment mounted on it are made. The obtained results can be considered as the first step in this direction. They provide grounds for the development of a technical mission and a relevant research program.
