    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to an extendable conductor assembly. A conductor of the extendable conductor assembly may be extended (e.g., into a thermal target, such as a preexisting or a newly created feature of a planetary body) and used to thermally couple a rover, vehicle, fixed installation, or other hardware with the thermal target. Thus, the temperature of the hardware may be managed via heat transfer to/from the thermal target. For instance, heat may be transferred from the thermal target to maintain the temperature of the hardware under cold conditions, while excess heat may be transferred to the thermal target under hot conditions. As an example, a rover may form a borehole in the lunar surface, in which a conductor may be extended to facilitate heat transfer between the rover and the Moon accordingly.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a sample collection assembly for a vehicle. The sample collection assembly includes a perforated ground-engaging member of the vehicle and an associated sample collector. For example, a perforated wheel may collect material from terrain under the vehicle as the wheel rotates (e.g., as may result from movement of the vehicle), which may fall through the perforation and into a sample collector disposed thereunder. In some examples, a ground-engaging member may include one or more grousers, paddles, or scoops, among other terrain interaction features, to further increase the amount of material that is collected. Such terrain interaction features may be unidirectional or bidirectional, thereby offering improved sample collection in one or both directions of operation, respectively. In examples, an image capture device or one or more other sensors may be used to monitor sample collection and/or to process data associated therewith.

    IPC: B60P3/075

    CPC classification number: B60P3/075

    Abstract: A vehicle locking assembly is disclosed, which couples a vehicle to a support member, for example using a frangible bolt and an actuator. When actuated, the actuator causes the frangible bolt to fail, thereby decoupling the vehicle from the support member. Ground-engaging members of the vehicle include terrain interaction features along an outer portion, thereby forming a portion of the ground-engaging member where the terrain interaction features (or, as another example, lack thereof) form a contact region that is radially closer to the center of the ground-engaging member as compared to the contact region(s) corresponding to other terrain interaction features. Accordingly, once the fastener is released, the ground-engaging members of the vehicle are actuated, such that the terrain interaction features engage with the plate/surface beneath the vehicle as the radially closer contact region rotates out from under the vehicle, thereby raising the vehicle off the support member.
