Although no known asteroid poses a threat to Earth for at least the next century, the
catalogue of near-Earth asteroids is incomplete for objects whose impacts would produce …

Abstract The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) is a Planetary Defense mission,
designed to demonstrate the kinetic impactor technique on (65803) Didymos I Dimorphos …

The Hayabusa2 spacecraft investigated the small asteroid Ryugu, which has a rubble-pile
structure. We describe an impact experiment on Ryugu using Hayabusa2's Small Carry-on …

Abstract The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft will impact into the
asteroid Dimorphos on 2022 September 26 as a test of the kinetic impactor technique for …

Images collected during NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission provide
the first resolved views of the Didymos binary asteroid system. These images reveal that the …

The impactor-to-crater size scaling relationships that enable estimates of planetary surface
ages rely on an accurate formulation of impactor–target physics. An armouring regime …

We use observations of Bennu's impact craters, and measurements of particle sizes seen in
images from the OSIRIS-REx (the Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification …

Abstract Bennu is an~ 500‐m‐diameter rubble‐pile asteroid that is the target of detailed
study by the Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security–Regolith …

Failure modes of lunar boulders depend both on rheology and the erosion agents acting in
the lunar surface environment. Here, we address the failure modes of lunar boulders and …

Abstract The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission impacted Dimorphos, the
moonlet of the binary asteroid 65803 Didymos, on 2022 September 26 and successfully …
