Drill & Sample Acquisition
Honeybee Robotics is the world’s leading developer of off-earth sampling equipment. Honeybee’s first flight models flew on NASA’s 2003 Mars Exploration Rover. They accomplished the mission goals as well as completing additional unplanned tasks.
Planetary drilling and sampling
Honeybee is currently developing systems for future missions to Mars, Venus, the moon, and two Jovian moons. For example, read about our work with CRUX, the Construction & Resource Utilization eXplorer, slated to explore the lunar poles, or explore our pages on subsurface access and sampling.
