  • Using numerical simulation to assess reliability and survivability of long-duration habitation modules at Lunar Gateway

    ORAL

    –

    Publication: Preliminary synthesized results (actual risk assessments of Lunar Gateway where this work is an input) are planned for future International Orbital Debris conference and final assessments are planned for HVIS 2024. NASA and ESA and their contractors may also have work products that will reference this work.

  • Rubble Pile Rock Size Distribution Influence on Momentum Enhancement in Hypervelocity Cratering Experiments in Crushed Basalt with Comparison to DART

    ORAL

    –

    Publication: We plan to write a paper on this research, but we have not yet begun to write (recent research). We published a previous experiment on this theme (related to DART) though with different rock materials: "Momentum Enhancement from a 3 cm Diameter Aluminum Sphere Striking a Small Boulder Assembly at 5.4 km s-1," J. D. Walker, S. Chocron, D. J. Grosch, S. Marchi, A. M. Alexander, Planetary Science Journal 3 215, 2022. https://doi.org/10.3847/PSJ/ac854f.
