Ejecta velocity distribution is an important property for controlling asteroid surface evolution and for changing the size frequency distribution of asteroids and planetary dusts. Recent asteroid explorations revealed that boulders on an asteroid surface had a wide size frequency distribution. On the other hand, many studies on ejecta velocity distribution for cratering experiments used fine-grained homogeneous targets. Thus, to study the ejection process of various-sized boulders on rubble-pile asteroids, we conducted impact experiments using gas guns at impact velocities of 100 m s− 1 to 4 km s− 1 on targets with various-sized glass beads, and analyzed boulder trajectories in three dimensions to clarify the effect of grain size on ejection velocity distribution. The results showed that the ejection velocity, v 0, decreased as the bead size increased, and the ejecta velocity scaling law was improved to v 0 gR= k 2′ r 0+ a R− 1 μ′ including the bead radius, a; r 0 is the initial position of the bead, g is the gravitational acceleration, R is the crater radius, and k 2′ and μ′ are, respectively, 0.58±0.02 and 0.62±0.02 for the low-impact velocity range (< 200 m s− 1) and 0.61±0.07 and 0.57±0.04 for the high-impact velocity range (> 1 km s− 1). Using our improved ejecta velocity scaling law, we calculated the landing points of ejected boulders and concluded that boulders with radii> 0.34R could not be ejected outside the final crater. Moreover, when the Urashima crater on asteroid 162173 Ryugu was formed on the surface, boulders up to 64 m in diameter may have been ejected beyond the escape velocity of Ryugu to become tiny monolithic asteroids.
