The ongoing pursuit of space and hypersonic flight continues to expose critical gaps in the
understanding of material behavior under hypervelocity impact (HVI) and hypersonic flow …

Abstract The NASA Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission performed a kinetic
impact on asteroid Dimorphos, the satellite of the binary asteroid (65803) Didymos, at 23: 14 …

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 …

Abstract NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission was the first to
demonstrate asteroid deflection, and the mission's Level 1 requirements guided its planetary …

The effects of projectile/target impedance matching and projectile shape on energy,
momentum transfer and projectile melting during collisions are investigated by numerical …

In multiple engineering fields such as rock drilling or building constructions or extreme
events like earthquakes or impacts, the dynamic properties of rock play an important role. A …

The Chelyabinsk meteorite is a highly shocked, low porosity, ordinary chondrite, probably
similar to S-or Q-type asteroids. Therefore, nanoindentation experiments on this meteorite …

The threat of asteroid impacts on the Earth can be mitigated through deflection missions.
The deflection capability has previously been omitted in asteroid impact risk analysis work …

Asteroids are small solid bodies that formed during the early stages of the solar system,
even before the formation of our own planet. Asteroids have been known to strike our planet …

A series of small-scale impact cratering experiments were performed on basalt at velocities
of 3.5–6.0 km s− 1. The formation and motion process of ejecta were observed by high …
