The Mechanized Sample Handler (MeSH) is a prototype miniature centralized sample preparation station that could be mounted on a rover for a future mission to Mars. MeSH crushes small rock cores to powder, then sieves and distributes it in measured aliquots to one or more instrument inlet ports.
- Complete core-to-instrument processing solution
- Miniature compression/attrition mill rapidly and effectively reduces rock to powder
- Fully automated 8-axis mechatronic system
