| Abstract | Small celestial bodies contain abundant scientific information to understand the origin and evolution of the solar system. The acquisition and analysis of regolith sample is the most direct and effective way to explore the geological construction of poorly known asteroids as remnants of earlier existed planetesimals. China is gradually promoting extraterrestrial regolith sampling technology from asteroids or comets nowadays. To obtain surface regolith from ultralow-gravity asteroids, a novel gas-driven regolith-sampling strategy is proposed, and a prototype was designed and fabricated for experimental validation. In this method, an ultrasonic percussive drill with low-reaction force is designed to break surface regolith to fine particles, and sample mobilization and collection is implemented through highly pressurized gas. Fluid-solid coupling simulation was conducted to evaluate regolith-sampling performance under normal- and micro- gravity conditions. Preliminary experiments, both in room and vacuum conditions, showed that the proposed strategy has good geological adaptability and sample-acquiring ability. This method can provide important technical supports for China's forthcoming asteroid-comet regolith-sampling exploration. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
