Mapping Terrestrial Impact Craters with the TanDEM-X Digital Elevation Model [PDF]

, 2013
The TanDEM-X mission generates a global digital elevation model (DEM) with unprecedented properties. We use it for mapping confirmed terrestrial impact craters as listed in the Earth Impact Database.

Oblique impact cratering experiments in brittle targets: Implications for elliptical craters on the Moon [PDF]

, 2017
Most impact craters observed on planetary bodies are the results of oblique impacts of meteoroids. To date, however, there have only been very few laboratory oblique impact experiments for analogue targets relevant to the surfaces of extraterrestrial ...

Selection of Whole-Moon Landing Zones Based on Weights of Evidence and Fractals

Remote Sensing, 2022
At present, the selection of lunar landing areas is mostly determined by experts’ argumentation and experience. Generally, it is artificially limited to a small zone, and there are few effective quantitative models for landing areas.

Melt Production and Ejection From Lunar Intermediate‐Sized Impact Craters: Where Is the Molten Material Deposited?

, 2022
Differently aged impact melt in lunar samples is key to unveiling the early bombardment history of the Moon. Due to the mixing of melt products ejected from distant craters, the interpretations of the origin of lunar samples are difficult.
