Designing future space drilling missions requires adapting drilling technologies to the space environment and the realities of the space industry, including minimizing the energy consumption and the mass of the coring devices. The authors performed initial drillability tests to determine the possibility of building low mass coring devices with an energy consumption of below 100 W for use in space missions. [PERSON] et al. [23] proposed a fast calculation method for improving the steering arm of a mining truck with Macpherson suspension. The forces on the steering arm were calculated by quasi-static analyses, and a rigid-flexible coupling model was established to obtain the distribution stress on the steering arm. The simulation results were verified by experiments, and after determining an improvement scheme, the strength of the improved steering arm was nearly doubled. The effectiveness of the improved steering arm was demonstrated by user feedback after it was manufactured, installed, and used. The methane-bearing capacity is a fundamental parameter to determine the methane hazard level, potential quantities of methane for energy, and harmful emissions. Direct methods, such as the direct drill cuttings method, are commonly used to determine the methane-bearing capacity; however, gas losses during sampling can affect the accuracy of the results. [PERSON] et al. [24] performed several experiments, including methane sorption tests, to identify important aspects and propose a new gas loss coefficient for the direct drill cuttings method. The proposed coefficient can improve the accuracy of methane-bearing capacity determination in hard coal seams. [PERSON] et al. [25] discuss the feasibility of applying unipore and bidisperse diffusion models to understand the kinetics of methane sorption and its diffusion in hard coal. The study carried out laboratory tests on coal samples with varying petrography and determined the degree of coalification based on measurements of vitrinite reflectivity and volatile matter content. The study identified coefficients that control the course of sorption in mathematical models, allowing for an assessment of the possibility of applying a given model to describe the phenomenon of methane sorption in hard coal. [PERSON] et al. [26] focused on optimizing predictions of the critical production pressure differential for deep carbonate reservoirs in the Tarim Basin, which is essential for the development of these areas with huge reserves. The paper summarizes the analytical methods for predicting the production pressure differential and establishes a new numerical model based on finite element theory. Laboratory tests were also conducted to obtain input parameters for the simulation, and the results showed that carbonate rocks exhibited brittleness and post-peak strain softening. The Mogi-Coulomb criterion was found to be suitable for evaluating the pressure differential, and the finite element numerical method was confirmed to be accurate in predicting the critical production pressure differential, although some on-site operators may prefer a more convenient analytical method. [PERSON] et al. [27] introduced the Enhanced Geothermal System based on Excavation (EGS-E), as a new method for geothermal energy extraction. The article investigates the initiation and propagation of excavation damaged zones (EDZs) in the EGS-E and the further evolution of surrounding rock stress and EDZs during ventilation by thermal-mechanical coupling. The results show that high temperature damage on the mechanical parameters of granite should be considered and that ventilation of high-temperature and high in situ stress tunnels has a significant effect on the EDZ scale. Additionally, EDZs experience three stages of slow, rapid, and decelerating expansion with increasing cooling time, and a thermal insulation layer prolongs the slow growth stage.
