Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Solar System
  • Electron

Astrobiology, Asteroid, Kaguya, Remote sensing and Space weathering are his primary areas of study. The Astrobiology study combines topics in areas such as Porosity and Astronomy. His Asteroid research integrates issues from Spacecraft, Astrophysics and Breakup.

His Kaguya research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Structural basin, South Pole–Aitken basin, Period and Geophysics, Mantle. His work in the fields of Altimeter overlaps with other areas such as Billion years. As part of the same scientific family, Sho Sasaki usually focuses on Space weathering, concentrating on Mineralogy and intersecting with Micrometeorite.

His most cited work include:

  • The Rubble-Pile Asteroid Itokawa as Observed by Hayabusa (663 citations)
  • Production of iron nanoparticles by laser irradiation in a simulation of lunar-like space weathering (279 citations)
  • Touchdown of the Hayabusa spacecraft at the Muses Sea on Itokawa. (278 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary areas of investigation include Astrobiology, Asteroid, Geodesy, Kaguya and Space weathering. His Astrobiology study combines topics in areas such as Astronomy, Planet and Jupiter. His Asteroid research includes elements of Spacecraft and Spectral line.

In the subject of general Geodesy, his work in Very-long-baseline interferometry is often linked to Field, thereby combining diverse domains of study. The various areas that Sho Sasaki examines in his Kaguya study include South Pole–Aitken basin, Geophysics and Doppler effect. Sho Sasaki combines subjects such as Mineralogy, Olivine, Micrometeorite, Chondrite and Regolith with his study of Space weathering.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrobiology (34.88%)
  • Asteroid (16.67%)
  • Geodesy (13.89%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Astrobiology (34.88%)
  • Asteroid (16.67%)
  • Space weathering (12.96%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His main research concerns Astrobiology, Asteroid, Space weathering, Altimeter and Spacecraft. His work on Mars Exploration Program as part of general Astrobiology research is frequently linked to MMX, bridging the gap between disciplines. Sho Sasaki has included themes like Period, Impact crater, Gravitational field and Geodesy in his Asteroid study.

His work carried out in the field of Space weathering brings together such families of science as Brightness, Surface, Chondrite and Sulfur. His Altimeter research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Spin and Standard gravitational parameter. His research integrates issues of Planetary science, Orbiter and State vector in his study of Spacecraft.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The geomorphology, color, and thermal properties of Ryugu: Implications for parent-body processes (145 citations)
  • Pulse-laser irradiation experiments of Murchison CM2 chondrite for reproducing space weathering on C-type asteroids (53 citations)
  • Internal structure of the Moon inferred from Apollo seismic data and selenodetic data from GRAIL and LLR (40 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Astronomy
  • Solar System
  • Asteroid

Sho Sasaki mainly focuses on Asteroid, Astrobiology, Spacecraft, Space weathering and Meteorite. His Asteroid research includes themes of Excursion and Gravitational field. His research in Astrobiology intersects with topics in Icy moon and Jupiter.

His Spacecraft study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Altimeter, Remote sensing, Orbiter and Planetary science. His Space weathering study incorporates themes from Period, Impact crater, Chondrite and Mineral hydration. His Meteorite study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Spectral line, Orders of magnitude and Mineralogy.
