Among various instruments developed for performing post-landing experiments on lunar surface from unmanned spacecraft are several that provide means for observing how lunar material responds to applied stresses; these include, penetration-hardness gages, soil-mechanics test apparatus, subsurface-sampling rock drill, and surface-sample collector; design and operating features and range of application of each of devices are reviewed.
