Morphological Features-Based Descriptive Index System for Lunar Impact Craters
Lunar impact craters are important for studying lunar surface morphology because they are the most typical morphological units of the Moon. Impact crater descriptive indices can be used to describe morphological features and thus provide direct evidence for both the current state and evolution history of the Moon. Current description methods for lunar impact craters are predominantly qualitativ...
متن کاملImpact Melt Volumes in Simple Lunar Craters: Constraints on Modeling
Introduction: Impact melt is a typical product produced during the cratering process as a result of the intense heating of the target usually because of pressure decompression, but also possible because of shear heating (Figure 1). Melt is observed on all of the terrestrial planets in both simple and complex craters [16]. High-resolution data for the Moon now allows impact melt deposits to be c...

country to the economic activity existing in developed countries. Incidentally, my planning office has just finished a feasibility study for an area in the Amazon Basin where 500 families may be settled in 14,400 hectares (1 hectare = 10,000 square meters), with a loan of $16,000 (United States dollars) per family extending over a 10-year period. After 10 years each family will have paid the lo...
متن کاملImplications of the Deepest Freshest Lunar Craters
Lunar Topographic Orthophoto maps (LTO) at 1:250 k scale have been used as a basis to measure the depth (dr and ds), diameter (D), and rim height (Hr) for 359 fresh Lunar craters in the diameter range of .08 – 131 km along the Apollo metric camera ground tracks. This study used LTO maps with high enough sun angle photography to permit deep crater depth measurements. This includes an area of ~ 3...
متن کاملRover Configuration for Exploring Lunar Craters
Configuration of locomotion for planetary rovers is motivated by increased interest in exploring lunar polar craters. Current rover designs cannot achieve the ascent or descent required by steep, unconsolidated lunar slopes. New designs must provide locomotive capability for steep climbing, techniques for controlling slip, and safely navigating down and along steep slopes. We propose a locomoti...
