Research Abstract

The surface of asteroid 25143 Itokawa is covered with numerous boulders although gravity is very small compared with that of other asteroids previously observed from spacecraft. The bulk porosiy of Itokawa is～ 40%, which is larger than that of asteroid Eros. Impact experiments on porous targets were carried out, in order to investigate the relationship between the ejecta velocity and the porosity of the target on catastrophic disruption. The result shows that antipodal velocity is mainly dependent on the shock pressure attenuation of the target, and not so greatly on the porosity.
