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…
Mobility and Science operations On An Asteroid Using a Hopping Small Spacecraft on Stilts
H. Kalita, S. Schwartz, E. Asphaug +1
There are thousands of asteroids in near-Earth space and millions in the Main Belt. They are diverse in physical properties and composition and are time capsules of the early solar…
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…
Constraints on the perturbed mutual motion in Didymos due to impact-induced deformation of its primary after the DART impact
Masatoshi Hirabayashi, Stephen R. Schwartz, Yang Yu +10
Binary near-Earth asteroid (65803) Didymos is the target of the proposed NASA Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART), part of the Asteroid Impact & Deflection Assessment (AIDA) mi…
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…
Optical Navigation for Interplanetary CubeSats
Stephen R. Schwartz, Shota Ichikawa, Pranay Gankidi +2
CubeSats and small satellites are emerging as low-cost tools for performing science and exploration in deep space. These new classes of satellite exploit the latest advancement in…
