Constraining surface properties of asteroid (162173) Ryugu from numerical simulations of Hayabusa2 mission impact experiment

Martin Jutzi, Sabina D. Raducan, Yun Zhang +2

The Hayabusa2 mission impact experiment on asteroid Ryugu created an unexpectedly large crater. The associated regime of low-gravity, low-strength cratering remained largely unexpl…

Investigating the Feasibility of an Impact-Induced Martian Dichotomy

Harry A. Ballantyne, Martin Jutzi, Gregor J. Golabek +4

A giant impact is commonly thought to explain the dramatic contrast in elevation and crustal thickness between the two hemispheres of Mars known as the "Martian Dichotomy". Initial…

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…

Reshaping and ejection processes on rubble-pile asteroids by impacts

S. D. Raducan, M. Jutzi, Y. Zhang +2

Context. Most small asteroids (<50 km in diameter) are the result of the breakup of a larger parent body and are often considered to be rubble-pile objects. Similar structures are…

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…

Predictions for the Dynamical States of the Didymos System before and after the Planned DART Impact

Derek C. Richardson, Harrison F. Agrusa, Brent Barbee +33

NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft is planned to impact the natural satellite of (65803) Didymos, Dimorphos, around 23:14 UTC on 26 September 2022, causing a…
