Add to ORKGThe task of autonomously anchoring spacecraft on the surface of any celestial body is extremely challenging. Weight restrictions do not allow for massive design; lacking external control calls for com-pliant drilling behavior. In search for a new concept we investigated biological mechanisms of ground anchoring. Plants are the first organisms to settle in any type of empty habitat. The roots play an important role during settling providing scalable anchoring. This feature is a consequence of longitudinal growth processes at the tip of the roots (apices) and radial growth on the overall root allowing them to increase in size and strength as well as adapting to changes in external loads. The growth direction of the apex is controlled by a sim...
