Copernican‐Aged (<200 Ma) Impact Ejecta at the Chang'e‐5 Landing Site: Statistical Evidence From Crater Morphology, Morphometry, and Degradation Models

Geophysical Research Letters, 2021
Chang'e‐5 successfully returned ∼1,731 g of lunar samples on December 17, 2020. We systematically studied the morphology and morphometry of craters surrounding the Chang'e‐5 site based on high‐resolution images.
