Abstract: Abstract Ballistic landers enable orbiting asteroid missions to perform surface science at limited additional cost and risk. Due to asteroids’ weak gravity and irregular terrain, lander deployment trajectories will consist of several chaotic bounces. Although… read more here.

Abstract: We describe a new actuation technique for gravity experiments based on a liquid field mass. The characterizing idea is to modulate the gravity force acting on a test mass by controlling the level of a… read more here.
