Description

On-going space missions NASA's OSIRIS-REx and JAXA's Hayabusa2 are gathering more and more information on asteroid regolith. In order to better understand how regolith respond to processes occurring in space (particularly micro-meteoroid impacts and thermal cracking), we have developed asteroid analog materials. In the present paper we focus on their mechanical properties deduced from compression and 3 point bending tests.
