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