Outline of Research at the Start

小惑星探査機はやぶさ2搭載の熱赤外カメラTIRはC型小惑星リュウグウの熱撮像を行って表面岩塊が隕石よりも多孔質であることを発見し,小型衝突装置SCIによる宇宙衝突実験はリュウグウ表層が微小重力下での弱い強度を持つことを示した.本研究では,リュウグウのような多孔質粉体に対する衝突実験を行い,探査機搭載型熱赤外カメラを用いて衝突による熱物性変化を観測し,小惑星熱物性進化のモデル化を通して将来の探査データ解析に向けた基礎実験を行う.

Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we conducted high-velocity impact experiments on porous granular targets, such as the surface of asteroid Ryugu, to investigate the changes in thermophysical properties resulting from the impact and the effect of the projectile aspect ratio on the crater shape. As a result, we found that with porous granular targets, the high-temperature impact products are buried deeply underground in the crater, and the subsurface material remains unexposed. Also, we found that the crater aspect ratio does not change when the projectile aspect ratio is <2. Additionally, we examined the shape, size, and spatial distribution of the SCI forward debris for the SCI sub-craters. We compared them with the shape, size, and spatial distribution of the SCI sub-crater candidates. As a result, we found that the SCI sub-craters were smaller than predicted by the crater scaling law due to the armoring effect.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究は、小惑星表層における衝突による熱物性変化を実験的に調べることで,太陽系初期物質の進化過程や小天体の軌道・物質進化の理解を深める学術的意義を持つ.また、将来の惑星探査ミッションにおけるミッション機器開発や観測データの解釈精度向上に寄与し,宇宙資源探査やプラネタリーディフェンスといった社会的応用にも貢献する.
