These components are all mounted to an aluminum baseplate. The experiment\u00a0is performed with pre-determined impact parameters (target material, impactor mass, and impactor velocity).\u00a0The experiment is fully automated using an accelerometer and an internal timed circuitry system.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-917 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/sciences.ucf.edu\/physics\/microgravity\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/sites\/19\/2015\/07\/IMG_44691-e1437152825399.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_4469\" width=\"250\" height=\"251\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/sciences.ucf.edu\/physics\/microgravity\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2015\/07\/IMG_44691-e1437152825399.jpg 250w, https:\/\/sciences.ucf.edu\/physics\/microgravity\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2015\/07\/IMG_44691-e1437152825399-150x150.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 250px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 250\/251;\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The IBS consists of a launcher system, a target tray, and a lighting system (shown on the left). A spherical impactor is propelled at low-speeds into a regolith reservoir via a spring-loaded launcher activated by a shape-memory-alloy system. The target tray, orreservoir, is rectangular in shape with dimensions of approximately 11.5 cm x 10.6 cm x 1.9 cm.\u00a0 The tray is filled with granular material (JSC-1, lunar regolith) prior to impactor launch. The JSC-1 is held in place by a mechanical, sliding door until the experiment is ready to be operated in reduced-gravity conditions. The door consists of Teflon pins that run through door guides and is opened and closed with a digital linear actuator (stepper motor).\u00a0An aluminum vacuum chamber was created for this experiment having dimensions of 30.5 cm x 19.1 x 18.7 cm. The chamber includes 3 ports: electrical, vacuum, and viewing. The electrical port houses an electrical feedthrough through which the circuitry logic unit is connected to the IBS. An o-ring face seal is threaded into the vacuum port along with a stainless steel ball valve attached for air removal and to seal the chamber\u00a0after vacuum pumping.\u00a0\u00a0 To video record the experiment, a BK7 optical glass viewport was installed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_202\" style=\"max-width: 500px;\" class=\"figure mx-auto d-block\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"figure-img  wp-image-202 lazyload\" title=\"COLLIDE_3\" data-src=\"https:\/\/sciences.ucf.edu\/physics\/microgravity\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/sites\/2\/sites\/38\/2012\/07\/COLLIDE_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"164\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/sciences.ucf.edu\/physics\/microgravity\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2012\/07\/COLLIDE_3.jpg 1004w, https:\/\/sciences.ucf.edu\/physics\/microgravity\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2012\/07\/COLLIDE_3-300x99.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sciences.ucf.edu\/physics\/microgravity\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2012\/07\/COLLIDE_3-768x252.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 500px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 500\/164;\" \/><figcaption class=\"figure-caption\">COLLIDE-3 vacuum chamber (left) and Impactor Box System (right)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading-underline\">Videos<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Video data is recorded through the viewing porthole using a Prosilica GE 1050 GigE Vision Camera by Allied Vision Technologies.
