Long Throw with Casting Probe System

In this paper, we firstly discuss how to put the probe vehicle on the bottom of the vertical hole discovered on the surface of the moon. We then propose a method of throwing the probe into the hole to speed up the transportation, reduce energy consumption, and avoid influence of geological factors. In order to achieve the two conflicting goals, i.e. high-precision throw and long throw, we elucidate suitable throwing mode and its control parameters for reduction of the error of the landing position of the probe. We finally develop the casting probe system for high speed rotation, and realize the long throw of high precision with it.
