Dynamic Fragmentation of Planetary Materials: Sub-Hypervelocity Ejecta Measurements and Velocity Scaling during Impact Testing

, 2013
Ejecta velocity measurements were made during impacts into solid planetary materials. Ejecta velocity fields overlie each other when normalized by vmax, v50%mass, and v50%KE; these correspond to the maximum velocity and median values of mass and kinetic ...

Numerical Simulation of the Elastic–Plastic Ejection from Grooved Aluminum Surfaces Under Double Supported Shocks Using the SPH Method

Applied Sciences
The ejection of disturbed surfaces under multiple shocks is a critical phenomenon in pyrotechnic and inertial confinement fusion. In this study, the elastic–plastic ejection from grooved aluminum surfaces under double supported shocks was investigated ...

From Flybys to Sample Return: A Review of Space Probes and Robotic Sampling Technologies for Small Bodies

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 7, Page 4475-4514, October 2026.
ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

Sinuosity of Martian rampart ejecta deposits [PDF]

, 1994
The sinuosities of 2213 Martian rampart ejecta craters are quantified through measurement of the ejecta flow front perimeter and ejecta area. This quantity, called lobateness, was computed for each complete lobe of the 1582 single lobe (SL), 251 double ...

Chronology, Local Stratigraphy, and Foreign Ejecta Materials at the Chang'e‐6 Landing Site: Constraints on the Provenance of Samples Returned From the Moon's Farside

Geophysical Research Letters
China's Chang'e‐6 (CE‐6) mission has returned the first‐ever lunar farside samples from a mare plain on the southern Apollo basin floor. The crater statistics of the CE‐6 mare unit and the provenance of the samples are crucial in interpreting the CE‐6 ...

Mapping the Western Jezero Crater Rim From Orbit: Connections to Regional Geologic Units and Context for Exploration by the Mars 2020 Perseverance Rover

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract The Mars 2020 rover is currently traversing the western rim of Jezero, a Middle to Late Noachian‐aged crater formed by an impactor that struck the northwest edge of Isidis Planitia (hereafter referred to as the Isidis basin) on Mars. Previous studies suggest that pre‐Isidis basin and Noachian outcrops are preserved throughout this region ...

Mesoscale Modeling of Titan’s Shangri‐La Region: The Impact of Surface Properties on Winds

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract The knowledge of Titan’s near‐surface atmosphere is sparse. The Huygens descent probe measured winds, and the multiple dune field observations and possible dust storms suggest active near‐surface dynamics. The Dragonfly rotorcraft lander will fly close to the surface in the Shangri‐La region, near the Huygens landing site, where complex dune ...

Ejecta Blankets at Small Craters on the Moon

The Planetary Science Journal
Impact-derived ejecta covers most of the lunar surface, originating from recent impacts through to the beginning of the geologic record. Despite how common ejecta is, accurate measurements of ejecta thickness are difficult to obtain, and existing ...
