Abstract:Considering a spacecraft that encounters particle-laden environment, such as dust particles flying up over the regolith by the jet of the landing thruster, high-speed flight of a projectile in particle-laden environment was experimentally simulated by using the ballistic range. In case of high-speed motion, cracking of particles occurs as well as the damage on the projectile surface. To establish the experimental simulation technology and to obtain the fundamental characteristics of such complicated phenomena,… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
