Impact investigations will be an important aspect of the InSight mission. One of the scientific
goals of the mission is a measurement of the current impact rate at Mars. Impacts will …

Determining the ages of young planetary surfaces relies on using populations of small, often
sub‐km diameter impact craters due to the higher frequency at which they form. Smaller …

Volcanic activity on Mars peaked during the Noachian and Hesperian periods but has
continued since then in isolated locales. Elysium Planitia hosts numerous young, fissure-fed …

Abstract Chang'e-5 (CE-5) is the first sample-return mission of China's lunar exploration and
will be launched in 2020. The planned landing area is near Mons Rümker in Oceanus …

We assessed the morphologies of more than 930 simple impact craters (diameters 40 m–10
km) on the Moon using digital terrain models (DTMs) of a variety of terrains in order to …

Small craters of the lunar maria are observed to be in a state of equilibrium, in which the rate
of production of new craters is, on average, equal to the rate of destruction of old craters …

A morphometric and morphologic catalog of~ 100 small craters imaged by the Opportunity
rover over the 33.5 km traverse between Eagle and Endeavour craters on Meridiani Planum …

Impact craters are the most common feature on the Moon's surface. Crater size–frequency
distributions provide critical insight into the timing of geological events, surface erosion …

The morphology of impact craters on the Moon plays an important role in understanding
impact cratering process, surface and subsurface properties, and their evolutions. In this …

Transformative lunar science will be driven by the accessibility, recovery, and return to Earth
of geological specimens. Isolated boulders, rock exposures, and rocky craters at the lunar …
