Simulating regoliths in microgravity
Despite their very low surface gravities, the surfaces of asteroids and comets are covered by granular materials regolith that can range from a fine dust to a gravellike structure of varying depths. Understanding the dynamics of granular materials is, therefore, vital for the interpretation of the surface geology of these small bodies and is also critical for the design and/or operations of any...
متن کاملThrust Vector Control of an Upper-Stage Rocket with Multiple Propellant Slosh Modes
The thrust vector control problem for an upper-stage rocket with propellant slosh dynamics is considered. The control inputs are defined by the gimbal deflection angle of a main engine and a pitchingmoment about the center of mass of the spacecraft. The rocket acceleration due to themain engine thrust is assumed to be large enough so that surface tension forces do not significantly affect the p...
متن کاملAstex Microgravity Experiment: Simulating Asteroid Regoliths
AstEx is a microgravity experiment selected to fly on ESA’s 51st Microgravity Research Campaign in November 2009. The experiment will investigate the dynamics of regolith on asteroid surfaces. Despite their very low surface gravities, asteroids exhibit a number of different geological processes involving granular matter. Understanding the mechanical response of this granular material subject to...
