   During the past few years I have asked several questions about   
   planetary drillers in sci.space.* newsgroups and I've got some   
   very good answers, links and information.   
   I worked couple of years in Mars drilling projects (mainly   
   national or ESA funded), and later I took that drilling as my Ph.D.   
   thesis subject.   
   Two months ago I finally got my thesis submitted and defended.   
   For those who are interested about the topic of planetary drilling   
   and sampling, I put the thesis online to web pages:   
      
   "Concept Evaluation of Mars Drilling and Sampling Instrument"   
   http://masa.net/space/phd_thesis/   
      
   With best regards,
