High-Speed Boulders and the Debris Field in DART Ejecta
Tony L. Farnham, Jessica M. Sunshine, Masatoshi Hirabayashi +44
On 26 September 2022 the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft collided with Dimorphos, the moon of the near-Earth asteroid 65803 Didymos, in a full-scale demonstratio…
Radio Science Investigations for the Heavy Metal Mission to Asteroid (216) Kleopatra
Paolo Tortora, Riccardo Lasagni Manghi, Edoardo Gramigna +3
This work presents the simulation results of the radio science experiment onboard the proposed Heavy Metal mission to the M-type asteroid (216) Kleopatra. Earth-based radiometric m…
Ephemeris Reconstruction for Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko During Rosetta Proximity Phase from Radiometric Data Analysis
Riccardo Lasagni Manghi, Marco Zannoni, Paolo Tortora +3
This study provides a continuous ephemeris reconstruction for comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko by reanalyzing Rosetta radiometric measurements and Earth-based astrometry. Given the…
Momentum Transfer from the DART Mission Kinetic Impact on Asteroid Dimorphos
Andrew F. Cheng, Harrison F. Agrusa, Brent W. Barbee +66
The NASA Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission performed a kinetic impact on asteroid Dimorphos, the satellite of the binary asteroid (65803) Didymos, at 23:14 UTC on Sep…
Determination of uncertainty profiles in neutral atmospheric properties measured by radio occultation experiments
Adrien Bourgoin, Edoardo Gramigna, Marco Zannoni +2
Radio occultations are commonly used to assess remotely the thermodynamic properties of planets or satellites' atmospheres within the solar system. The data processing usually invo…
The science case for spacecraft exploration of the Uranian satellites: Candidate ocean worlds in an ice giant system
Richard J. Cartwright, Chloe B. Beddingfield, Tom A. Nordheim +15
The 27 satellites of Uranus are enigmatic, with dark surfaces coated by material that could be rich in organics. Voyager 2 imaged the southern hemispheres of Uranus' five largest '…
