Asteroids and moons are small, atmosphereless bodies with dynamic surface activity that complicates image analysis and selection of future exploration sites. To better understand the distributions of surface material (regolith), the Strata-1 experiment utilized the microgravity, vibrational environment of the International Space Station (ISS) to replicate asteroidal conditions. Image data was collected, in which we observe both times of disruptive “events” and more passive “non-events” that cause small changes. The experiment contained several types of material to simulate asteroid surfaces. Here we analyze a single tube that contained aspherical glass shards. We have written a Python routine to split the …
