An On-Orbit CubeSat Centrifuge for Asteroid Science and Exploration
Jekan Thangavelautham, Erik Asphaug, Stephen Schwartz
There are thousands of asteroids in near-Earth space and millions expected in the Main Belt. They are diverse in their physical properties and compositions. They are also time caps…
Boulder Stranding in Ejecta Launched by an Impact Generated Seismic Pulse
Esteban Wright, Alice C. Quillen, Juliana South +6
We consider how an impact generated seismic pulse affects the surface of an asteroid distant from the impact site. With laboratory experiments on dry polydisperse gravel mixtures,…
Impact Excitation of a Seismic Pulse and Vibrational Normal Modes on Asteroid Bennu and Associated Slumping of Regolith
Alice C. Quillen, Yuhui Zhao, YuanYuan Chen +3
We consider an impact on an asteroid that is energetic enough to cause resurfacing by seismic reverberation and just below the catastrophic disruption threshold, assuming that seis…
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…
