Impact ejecting is a critical part of the impact process and plays a pivotal role in engineering applications and scientific analyses in deep space exploration. Its importance extends to space missions such as asteroid surface anchoring for mission stability, impact sampling for scientific analysis of extraterrestrial materials, kinetic impact deflection for planetary defense strategies, and the detailed analysis of ejecta deposition patterns on planetary surfaces to understand surface evolution and regolith dynamics. With small asteroids whose surfaces are commonly covered with regolith, granular targets are employed in laboratory settings to simulate the impact ejecting process. This paper presents a review of the research progress concerning the behavior of impact ejecting on granular targets. The formation process of impact ejecting and methods for describing ejecta curtains are evaluated. An analysis of the dimensional similarity laws governing impact ejecta, along with their applicability and limitations, is conducted. Additionally, the influence of factors, such as target material parameters, impact conditions, target surface morphology, and impactor shape and structure, on impact ejecting behavior is summarized. Finally, existing research challenges are objectively identified, and potential directions for further scientific research about the behavior of impact ejecta on granular targets are proposed.
