Unraveling the Fate of Impacted Ice Particles and the Consequences for Plume Fly‐Through Missions

Valerie Scott,
Hao Jiang,
Bo Li
et al.

Abstract: Planetary exploration mission concepts that include flying directly through material for collection and/or analysis are becoming increasingly common, with Enceladus water ice particles offering a particularly high‐value target. Despite this interest, understanding and predicting what happens to ice samples upon impacting a surface at the high‐ and hyper‐velocities expected for these missions remains a critical knowledge gap. We describe a set of custom simulations using the Hot Optimal Transportation Meshfree … Show more

“…Therefore, researchers have long been aiming at creating a better analogue experiment. Two different concepts of ice accelerators have been proposed, aiming to better replicate ice particle impacts [22][23][24][25][26][27]. While the current state-of-the-art dust accelerators in Boulder [28] and Stuttgart [29] (all emerging from the Heidelberg dust accelerator [30]) have not yet been able to generate and accelerate ice particles, there has been some effort to establish another analogue experiment by reversing the impact situation via high-velocity solid dust particles hitting an ice surface with subsequent MS [31].…”
