| Reference: float sample Reference information: Float samples are defined as individual units loosely adhered to the surface. In order to remove the sample from its original location one only needs to overcome the force of gravity. Here on Earth geologists may pick up these types of samples by hand or using a selection of tools: tongs, a scoop, or a shovel. In fact, the Apollo missions to the Moon utilized these same types of instruments [1]. In the low gravity environments (milligravity to microgravity) of small bodies the action of shoveling or scooping would eject the sample into space, making it unobtainable and creating a debris hazard to the crew and vehicle. Grabbing the sample by hand or using tongs are the only methods which are gravity independent as they capture and contain the sample in a single motion. https://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/20160003086.pdf |
