Collisions Into Dust Experiment on a Commercial Suborbital Vehicle
Completed NASA Flight Opportunities experiment led by the University of Central Florida that adapted the Collisions Into Dust Experiment for autonomous operation on a commercial suborbital vehicle. The zero-gravity experiment used individualized vacuum chambers and higher-quality video to measure how low-energy impacts disturb fine particles, informing hardware and procedures for dusty, near-zero-gravity surfaces on the Moon, Mars, and small bodies.
