Beagle 2
Pillinger's II Corer/grinder
Beagle 2 Mission (MEE)
This device is specifically designed 

to combine the function of the grinder 

with that of the corer for payload 

reduction on Beagle 2.
Grinder Corer
The corer locator is spaced 10 mm 

away from the rock surface by 

the X-Y table and scans an area 

of 20 mm in diameter creating a flat 

surface of 2 mm deep.
when the tool is used for coring, 

the X-Y table is retracted allowing 

the locator to force against the 

rock for fixing.
