Extra Low-gear: a Micro-gravity Laboratory to Simulate Asteroid Surfaces
The conceptual design and application of a low-speed centrifuge for carrying out milli to micro-G gravity experiments to simulate the granular nature of the surface and interiors of asteroids and comets is described. The proposed device is well suited for the Human-Tended Suborbital Science program as its 3-5 minute weightless durations are sufficient to successfully simulate the surfaces and i...
متن کاملResults of Laboratory Experiments to Simulate the Downhole Environment of Formation Testing While Drilling
A laboratory-based experimental study was conducted to more completely understand the fundamentals of pressure transients produced by Formation Testing While Drilling (FTWD) equipment. These tools can be run in open hole, positioned at a desired level, and actuated to measure reservoir pressure and flow capacity while in a dynamic drilling environment. Any number of pressure measurements can be...

متن کاملMechanical Properties of Asteroid Materials: Clues from Analysis of Spacecraft Images and Results from Laboratory Experiments
Introduction: To the extent that the morphology and bulk mechanical behavior of surface rocks and regoliths of small asteroids might be representative of the materials and mechanical properties of the interiors of these small objects, study of regoliths and regolith analogs can provide important information relevant to planning for future spacecraft operations there. Coefficient of Restitution ...
متن کاملScaling forces to asteroid surfaces: The role of cohesion

Schee The scaling of physical forces to the extremely low ambient gravitational acceleration regimes found on the surfaces of small asteroids is performed. Resulting from this, it is found that van der Waals cohesive forces between regolith grain...
