A benchmarking and sensitivity study of the full two-body gravitational dynamics of the DART mission target, binary asteroid 65803 Didymos

Agrusa, Harrison Richardson, Derek Davis, Alex

NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) is designed to be the first demonstration of a kinetic impactor for planetary defense against a small-body impact hazard. The target is the smaller component of the binary asteroid 65803 Didymos. We have conducted high-fidelity rigid full two-body simulations of the mutual dynamics of this system...
