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…
