To conduct sample return missions from a wide range of planetary bodies(asteroids, comets, small moons, Moon, Mars, Venus) on a regular basis[, some] factors must be minimized. Rather than looking at sample return as single point missions, each requiring their individual technology development, it would be much more advantageous to examine sample return technologies as threads linking simple missions(both sample return and non-sample return missions) to more complex missions and include them at the onset or early in the development of an exploration strategy. 1, record 1, English, - sample%20return%20mission

[La mission] OSIRIS-REx caractérisera en détail l'astéroïde Bennu et rapportera un échantillon sur Terre pour qu'il soit analysé. Elle aidera les scientifiques à mieux déterminer l'orbite de l'astéroïde afin de fournir des données plus concluantes sur le type de menace que représente Bennu pour notre planète. Elle permettra ainsi de mieux prédire les probabilités qu'il entre en collision avec la Terre dans un avenir plus ou moins rapproché et aussi d'améliorer nos connaissances sur la composition de l'astéroïde, ce qui fournira des indices sur la façon dont les planètes se sont formées et sur l'apparition de la vie.

Dr. Karl Clark, a scientist working for the Alberta Research Council, developed and patented the hot water extraction technique... Oil sand is mixed with hot water creating a slurry. Early methods used large tumbler drums to condition the slurry. Today, hydrotransport pipelines are used to condition and transport the oil sand from the mine to the extraction plant. The slurry is fed into a separation vessel where it separates into three layers-sand, water and bitumen. The bitumen is then skimmed off the top to be cleaned and processed further. Secondary recoveries are made with the middlings zone of the separation vessels to return the smaller quantities of bitumen that would otherwise flow to the settling ponds. Ph levels and temperature are key variables in the process. 2, record 7, English, - hot%20water%20extraction%20process

Les particules de bitume se séparent des grains de sable et s'accrochent à de minuscules bulles d'air. La boue ainsi préparée est tamisée, puis déposée dans de gros contenants coniques de séparation dans lesquels le bitume aéré est récolté sous forme de mousse [...]. Le gros sable se dépose au fond pour être ensuite pompé vers une décharge.

Early warm-air systems delivered air to and from rooms by gravity circulation in large ducts connected to the furnace in the basement. Since the only force producing circulation was that due to the small difference in density between the hot supply air and the cold return air, a satisfactory volume of air could be moved only by providing very large air ducts and registers and heating the air to a high temperature. The result was a very bulky system that produced hot air at the ceiling and cold air on the floor. 3, record 10, English, - gravity%20warm%2Dair%20heating%20system
