Surface mechanical properties of comet 67P

Krüger, H.; Knapmeyer, M.; Fischer, H. -H. +1 more

We give an overview of the mechanical properties of the surface material of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, as measured with the Surface Electric Sounding and Acoustic Monitoring Experiment instruments within the Rosetta/Philae mission. The data yielded information on the compression strength and the elastic modulus of the surface material and of…
