Ejecta Cloud from a Kinetic Impact on the Secondary of a Binary Asteroid: I. Mechanical Environment and Dynamic Model
Yang Yu, Patrick Michel, Stephen R. Schwartz +2
An understanding of the post-impact dynamics of ejecta clouds are crucial to the planning of a kinetic impact mission to an asteroid, and also has great implications for the histor…

Small-body deflection techniques using spacecraft: techniques in simulating the fate of ejecta
Stephen R. Schwartz, Yang Yu, Patrick Michel +1
We define a set of procedures to numerically study the fate of ejecta produced by the impact of an artificial projectile with the aim of deflecting an asteroid. Here we develop a s…
