“kinetic impactor” validation requires impactor (NASA/DART) + observer spacecraft (ESA/Hera) to retrieve all physical and dynamical parameters of asteroid Didymos necessary to validate numerical impact codes HERA asteroid deflection objectives
1. Measure the momentum transfer (incl. ejecta enhancement β) from a kinetic impactor on the binary asteroid § Asteroid (Didymoon) mass by measuring wobble and through radioscience § Asteroid dynamical properties via navcam
β CoM wobble
β HERA asteroid deflection objectives
2. Impact models validation and extrapolation to other asteroids § Crater size/morphology, density, change in the surface material
Pre-shattered Micro-porous
non porous porous HERA technology experiments
1. Validate spacecraft feature-tracking navigation increasing on-board autonomy § Synergies with technologies under development for in-orbit servicing, including novel FDIR based on sensor data fusion.
2. Demonstrate deep-space (6U) CubeSats relayed via an inter- satellite link with ranging capability (supporting planetary defence objectives): § Very high-resolution close up asteroid imaging incl. crater and subsurface material § Provide complementary measurements to main spacecraft (e.g. spacecraft-CubeSat radioscience, radar tomography, volatiles…) Main Programmatic Categories for CM19 Science and Enabling and Support Safety and Applications Exploration (transp., tech, & ops) Security Planetary Space Weather Defence
