Curiosity Rover Sampling System Scoop Test

Curiosity will be a rolling geology lab on Mars. See how engineers take a soil sample using her stunt double.

POV : YouTube recommended this to you after 8 years

Good question. The video seems to skip over that part. Either they scooped up way too much and did it again (all part of the learning process) or there's a device in the scoop which skims off the excess. The sample does seem to move when he says, "..will close the scoop." Then again it's timelapse footage, so the sample may have settled on its own. Finding technical specifications for the rover online seems to be an exercise in futility.

@0:44 Anyone know how they get the sample to settle down into the scoop?

[dmc__]

how do they get the sample off of the observation tray without getting it all over the components? at 0:50
