Seismic Velocities of the Tagish Lake Meteorite: Exploring Sample Size Limits for Elastic Property Determination

Understanding the mechanical and elastic properties of rocks comprising asteroids is be-coming of greater practical importance as more spacecraft interact with them (e.g. OSIRIS-REx, Hayabusa2, DART). However, knowledge of asteroid lithologies’ physical properties is limited due to sample paucity and the resulting challenges that come with working with small samples. Measuring seismic velocities is one way to directly and indirectly (through relation-ships established with analog materials) explore elastic and strength properties, respectively, while minimizing use of available material. While sample preparation requires cutting, the seismic measurements are non-destructive.
