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: A statistical-equilibrium, geostrophic-turbulence regime of the stochastically forced, one-layer, reduced-gravity, quasigeostrophic model is identified in which the numerical solutions are representative of global mean, midlatitude, open-ocean mesoscale variability. Solutions are forced near the internal deformation… read more here.
