The surface conditions of ceres mimicked by a hyper velocity experiment

A hypervelocity experiment mimics the conditions on Ceres during impacts. The experiment uses impact velocities ranging from 2–6 km/s (4,400–13,000 mph) and impact angles varying between 15 and 90 degrees. 

Hypervelocity is a velocity so high that the strength of materials upon impact is very small compared to inertial stresses. This means that metals and fluids behave alike under hypervelocity impact. Extreme hypervelocity results in vaporization of the impactor and target. 

Scientists are studying different materials and processes found on Ceres in labs. They are pursuing clues to Ceres’ secrets by simulating its conditions on Earth. 

Ceres is the largest object in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. It’s the only dwarf planet located in the inner solar system. Ceres’ crust is rocky and dusty with large salt deposits. The salts on Ceres aren’t like table salt (sodium chloride), but instead are made of different minerals like magnesium sulfate.
