This two-volume set includes the latest principles behind the
processes of drilling and excavation on Earth and other planets. It
covers the categories of drills, the history of drilling and
excavation, various drilling techniques and associated issues, rock

process of breaking and penetrating various media and the required
hardware and the process of excavation and analysis of the sampled
media.

underwater, and planetary surfaces from shallow to very deep.
Provides a comprehensive description of key drilling techniques and
the efforts to develop unified approach to assessing the required
tools for given drilling requirements. Discusses how environment
affects drilling and approaches to addressing the effects and
current challenges of drilling and excavation on other planets.
Examines novel drilling and excavation approaches. Dr. Yoseph

The Earth has limited resources while the resources in space are
virtually unlimited. Further development of humanity will require
going beyond our planet and exploring of extraterrestrial bodies
and their resources. This book investigates Outer Solar Systems and
their prospective energy and material resources. It presents past
missions and future technologies and solutions to old problems that
could become reality in our life time. The book therefore is a
great resource of condensed information for specialists interested
in current and impending Outer Solar Systems related activities and
a good starting point for space researchers, inventors,
technologists and potential investors.

Earth has limited material and energy resources, while these
resources are virtually unlimited in space. It is only a matter of
time, before planetary resources are mined and used in-situ to
sustain human and robotic exploration or returned to Earth for
commercial gain. This book covers a number of aspects related to
space resources. In particular, subjects related to mission
concepts, exploration approaches, mining and extraction
technologies, commercial potential, and regulatory aspects of space
resources are covered in detail. This book is therefore a good
resource for readers who seek background and deeper understanding
of space resources related activities.
