Network of Nano-Landers for In-Situ Characterization of Asteroid Impact Studies
Himangshu Kalita, Erik Asphaug, Stephen Schwartz +1
Exploration of asteroids and comets can give insight into the origins of the solar system and can be instrumental in planetary defence and in-situ resource utilization (ISRU). Aste…
A Cubesat Centrifuge for Long Duration Milligravity Research
Erik Asphaug, Jekan Thangavelautham, Andrew Klesh +5
We advocate a low-cost strategy for long-duration research into the 'milligravity' environment of asteroids, comets and small moons, where surface gravity is a vector field typical…
Optimized Bucket Wheel Design for Asteroid Excavation
Ravi Teja Nallapu, Andrew Thoesen, Laurence Garvie +2
Current spacecraft need to launch with all of their required fuel for travel. This limits the system performance, payload capacity, and mission flexibility. One compelling alternat…
