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…
Seasonal Variability of the Daytime and Nighttime Atmospheric Turbulence Experienced by InSight on Mars
Audrey Chatain, Aymeric Spiga, Don Banfield +2
The InSight mission, featuring continuous high-frequency high-sensitivity pressure measurements, is in ideal position to study the active atmospheric turbulence of Mars. Data acqui…
Validating N-body code Chrono for granular DEM simulations in reduced-gravity environments
Cecily Sunday, Naomi Murdoch, Simon Tardivel +2
The Discrete Element Method (DEM) is frequently used to model complex granular systems and to augment the knowledge that we obtain through theory, experimentation, and real-world o…
Small Solar System Bodies as granular media
D. Hestroffer, P. Sánchez, L. Staron +12
Asteroids and other Small Solar System Bodies (SSSBs) are of high general and scientific interest in many aspects. The origin, formation, and evolution of our Solar System (and oth…
CASTAway: An Asteroid Main Belt Tour and Survey
N. E. Bowles, C. Snodgrass, A Gibbings +42
CASTAway is a mission concept to explore our Solar System's main asteroid belt. Asteroids and comets provide a window into the formation and evolution of our Solar System and the c…
An experimental study of low-velocity impacts into granular material in reduced gravity
Naomi Murdoch, Iris Avila Martinez, Cecily Sunday +4
In order to improve our understanding of landing on small bodies and of asteroid evolution, we use our novel drop tower facility to perform low-velocity (2-40 cm s^-1), shallow imp…
