Ejected Particles after Impact Splash on Mars: Aggregates and Aerodynamics

Our earlier laboratory measurements showed that low-velocity sand impacts release fine <5 μ m dust from a Martian simulant soil. This dust will become airborne in the Martian atmosphere. Here, we extend this study by measuring aerodynamic properties of ejecta and characterizing deviations from th...
