    Abstract:

    The moon has always been the main object of human space exploration. Lunar drilling is the most intuitive method for obtaining lunar geological information and one of the main means for human exploration of the moon. This article introduces the current technological status of lunar drilling both domestically and internationally, summarizes the main technical challenges of lunar drilling, and develops a lunar drilling simulation test bench and experimental drilling pipes based on this. The process parameters and suitable drilling pipes suitable for lunar drilling were summarized by conducting drilling experiments targeting different parameters such as pitch, drilling pressure, rotational speed, and impact frequency. Finally, the article considers the development of future lunar drilling technology based on simulation test results, in order to provide useful reference for related research.
