Cuartielles et al, Cranfield University<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>An increasing number of interplanetary missions are aiming at visiting asteroids and other small bodies, since these may provide clues to understand the formation and evolution of our Solar System. CubeSats allow a low-cost solution to land on these objects, as opposed to risking a much more expensive mothership. The weak gravitational field on these small bodies may also enable the possibility of simply dropping a CubeSat from afar (i.e. ballistic landing).<\/em><\/p>\n<p>However, ballistic landing of an unpowered spacecraft may be feasible solely within certain asteroid locations, and only if sufficient energy can be dissipated at touchdown. If such conditions are not met, the spacecraft will rebound off the surface. It is likely that the necessary energy dissipation may already occur naturally due to energy loss expected through the deformation of the regolith during touchdown. Indeed, previous low-velocity impact experiments in microgravity seem to indicate that this is exactly the case. However, data from past asteroid touchdowns, Hayabusa and Philae, indicate the contrary.<\/p>\n<p>This paper describes the development of an experiment which aims to bridge the aforementioned disagreement between mission data and microgravity experiment; to understand the behaviour of CubeSat landing on asteroids. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>** <a href=\"https:\/\/calpolynews.calpoly.edu\/news_releases\/2018\/November\/CubeSat_Earth_Image\" target=\"_d\">Cal Poly\u2019s Latest CubeSat Reveals First High-Resolution Image of the Earth &#8211; Cal Poly News &#8211; Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>While Cal Poly\u2019s ninth CubeSat tests a way to reduce vibrations aboard orbiting satellites, the softball-sized satellite also has been busy snapping photos of the Earth.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.polysat.org\/launched\/\">DAVE, or Damping and Vibrations Experiment<\/a>, launched Sept. 15 from Vandenberg Air Force Base with three other small satellites, or CubeSats, as secondary payload on NASA\u2019s ICESat-2 (Ice Cloud and Land Elevation Satellite-2) mission.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.polysat.org\">PolySat<\/a>, the student-run research lab, released its first high-resolution image that was snapped just hours after the launch.
