Jetted wells, similar to drilled wells, are more common in sandy soils than in clay formations. A high-velocity stream of water is forced into the soil, then a jetting tool(point) is pushed into the loosened material to provide access for the well casing that follows. The casing of a jetted well often does not extend above the ground surface, a factor that both allows contaminants to enter the well and makes it difficult to later locate and inspect the well. 2, record 4, English, - jetted%20well

When folded up, the Beagle 2 lander resembles a very large pocket watch.... As soon as it comes to a halt on the Martian surface, however, Beagle 2's outer casing will open to reveal the inner workings. First, solar panels will unfold... [They] will power the lander and its experiments throughout the mission. Next, a robotic arm will spring to life. Attached to the end of the arm will be Beagle's Payload Adjustable Workbench(PAW) where most of the experiments are situated. These include a pair of stereo cameras, a microscope, two types of spectrometer(Mössbauer and X-ray) and a torch to illuminate surfaces. The PAW also houses the corer/grinder and ’the mole’, two instruments for collecting rock and soil samples for analysis. 3, record 5, English, - Beagle%202
