Direct N-body Simulations of Satellite Formation around Small Asteroids: Insights from DART’s Encounter with the Didymos System

The Planetary Science Journal
We explore binary asteroid formation by spin-up and rotational disruption considering the NASA DART mission's encounter with the Didymos–Dimorphos binary, which was the first small binary visited by a spacecraft.

Precise Orbit Determination of Mars-crossing Asteroids

The Astronomical Journal
This study investigates the orbit determination of the Mars-crossing asteroids (MCAs) with a focus on the possibility of detecting their Yarkovsky signals. We analyze the influences of force model uncertainties on MCA orbits, including the uncertainty of

High-speed Boulders and the Debris Field in DART Ejecta

The Planetary Science Journal
On 2022 September 26 the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft collided with Dimorphos, the moon of the near-Earth asteroid 65803 Didymos, in a full-scale demonstration of a kinetic impactor concept.

Size–Frequency Distribution of Terrestrial Leftover Planetesimals and S-complex Implanted Asteroids

The Astrophysical Journal
The isotopic composition of meteorites linked to S-complex asteroids has been used to suggest that these asteroids originated in the terrestrial planet’s region, i.e., within 1.5 au, and later got implanted into the main asteroid belt (MAB).

Achievement of the Planetary Defense Investigations of the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) Mission

The Planetary Science Journal
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 defense investigations. Here, we summarize DART's achievement of those requirements.
