Description: Our guest is Dr. Adrienne Dove ( @astroaddie ) of SSERVI (Solar System Exploration Research Virtual Institute), CLASS and Assistant Professor of Physics at UCF. Along with several UCF colleagues, she has been a science advisor on the Strata-1 payload (PI Marc Fries at JSC), a microgravity regolith experiment designed to explore the long-term evolution of regolith particle size distributions and stratification in a low-gravity environment.

The focus of studies conducted by the Center for Lunar and Asteroid Surface Science for NASA SSERVI include studies of the physical properties of regolith; microgravity effects, impact ejecta, dynamics, hydration and weathering of near Earth asteroids, and charging and mobilization of dust.

Bio: Dr. Pamela Gay is a professor at Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville and Director of Cosmoquest.
