About GRASS Gravimeter

GRASS Gravimeter is the first instrument to directly measure gravity on the surface of an asteroid. The GRASS gravimeter will be landed on the surface of the Dimorphos asteroid aboard the Juventas CubeSat – which will itself be deployed from ESA’s Hera mission for planetary defence.

Our team of experts is dedicated to advancing the field of planetary science and exploration through the development and deployment of innovative instrumentation. We are proud to be at the forefront of cutting-edge research and initiatives that will help us better deduce the formation and evolution of near-Earth asteroids, thus our Solar System.
