In this paper, we study the dynamical environment around asteroids to investigate whether ejecta particles from an impact event (artificial or natural) could be temporarily trapped in periodic orbits. If such particles remain about an asteroid, they could potentially jeopardize a ...

Temporary Capture of Asteroid Ejecta into Periodic Orbits

Application to JAXA’s Hayabusa2 Impact Event

In the framework of JAXA’s Hayabusa2 mission, we study the dynamical environment around asteroid Ryugu to investigate whether ejecta particles can be temporarily trapped in periodic orbits following the Small Carry-on Impactor (SCI) operation. If these particles remain about the ...
Operating spacecraft in a perturbed environment of a binary asteroid system is a challenging task. In light of the near-future exploration of the 65803 Didymos system by the Hera probe and the lack of study of orbital evolution of naturally-levitated regolith particles in this sy ...
