TL;DR: The Mars Science Laboratory Mission (MSL) Sample Acquisition, Processing, and Handling (SA/SPaH) subsystem as mentioned in this paper is the first in-situ system designed to acquire interior rock and soil samples from Martian surface materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
A look back: The drilling campaign of the Curiosity rover during the Mars Science Laboratory's Prime Mission
William Abbey,Robert S. Anderson,Luther W. Beegle,Joel A. Hurowitz,Kenneth H. Williford,Gregory H. Peters,John Michael Morookian,Curtis Collins,J. Feldman,Ryan Kinnett,Louise Jandura,Daniel Limonadi,C. Logan,Scott McCloskey,Joseph Melko,Avi Okon,M. Robinson,Chris Roumeliotis,Calina Seybold,Jaime Singer,Noah Warner +20 more
TL;DR: The Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) rover, Curiosity, completed its first Martian year, 669 sols (687 Earth days), of operation on June 24, 2014 as discussed by the authors. During that time the rover successfully drilled three full depth drill holes into the Martian surface and analyzed the recovered material using onboard instruments, giving us new insights into the potential habitability of ancient Mars.

TL;DR: For example, during its 57th through 100th martian days (sols) in Gale Crater, the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) Curiosity rover performed its first sample acquisition and processing of solid, granular sample.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Keeping the MSL rover safe against slip and settling while sampling
Christopher White,Daniel Limonadi,Curtis Collins,George Antoun,Chris Roumeliotis,Louise Jandura,Bernard Hallet,Joseph Melko,M. Robinson,Ronald S. Sletten +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe how system requirements, innovative numerical simulations, and an operational process - termed the Slip Risk Assessment Process - are being used on the Mars Science Laboratory Rover.
The Unparalleled Systems Engineering of MSL's Backup Entry, Descent, and Landing System: Second Chance
TL;DR: The systems engineering behind SECC is focused on, covering a brief overview of the design, the intense schedule to use SECC as a backup system, the verification and validation of the system’s “Do No Harm” mandate, the system's overall functional performance, and finally, its use on the fateful day of August 5, 2012.
