Regolith behavior under asteroid-level gravity conditions: low-velocity impact experiments

Abstract The dusty regolith covering the surfaces of asteroids and planetary satellites differs in size, shape, and composition from terrestrial soil particles and is subject to environmental conditions very different from those found on Earth. This regolith evolves in a low ambient pressure and low...
