AB The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) plans to impact the smaller component of the 65803 Didymos asteroid system [1], Dimorphos, and alter the binary orbit period of the system [2]. The experiment aims to demonstrate the controlled deflection capabilities of a near-Earth asteroid. ESA’s Hera mission [1,2] will arrive at Dimorphos four years after the DART impact and provides a detailed characterization of the impact. For a successful analysis it is important to know the influence of various parameters known to affect the cratering. Here we present some preliminary results as well as planned experiments at the Experimental Projectile Impact Chamber (EPIC) at Centro de Astrobiología CSIC-INTA, Spain, carried out in concert with observations of natural craters and numerical simulations for mutual verification of the methods and a first analysis of the effects of factors such as heterogeneities in a granular (i.e. ‘rubble-pile’) target.
