After DART: Using the first full-scale test of a kinetic impactor to inform a future planetary defense mission
Thomas S. Statler, Sabina D. Raducan, Olivier S. Barnouin +38
NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) is the first full-scale test of an asteroid deflection technology. Results from the hypervelocity kinetic impact and Earth-based obse…
Effects of impact and target parameters on the results of a kinetic impactor: predictions for the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission
Angela M. Stickle, Mallory E. DeCoster, Christoph Burger +30
The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft will impact into the asteroid Dimorphos on September 26, 2022 as a test of the kinetic impactor technique for planetary defen…
Preliminary mission profile of Hera's Milani CubeSat
Fabio Ferrari, Vittorio Franzese, Mattia Pugliatti +2
CubeSats offer a flexible and low-cost option to increase the scientific and technological return of small-body exploration missions. ESA's Hera mission, the European component of…
The role of fragment shapes in the simulations of asteroids as gravitational aggregates
Fabio Ferrari, Paolo Tanga
Remote measurements and in-situ observations confirm the idea that asteroids up to few hundreds of meters in size might be rubble piles. The dynamics of these objects can be studie…
A parallel-GPU code for asteroid aggregation problems with angular particles
F. Ferrari, M. Lavagna, E. Blazquez
The paper presents a numerical implementation of the gravitational N-body problem with contact interactions between non-spherically shaped bodies. The work builds up on a previous…
