Optical Characterization of the DART Impact Plume: Importance of Realistic Ejecta Scattering Properties

Optical Characterization of the DART Impact Plume: Importance of Realistic Ejecta Scattering Properties

The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission will impact the moon Dimorphos of the (65803) Didymos binary and demonstrate the kinetic impactor technique for planetary defense. Observations from the ride-along CubeSat companion, LICIACube, of the spatial structure and temporal evolution of the...
