Experimental Results Investigating Impact Velocity Effects on Crater Growth and the Transient Depth-to-Diameter RatioWe performed vertical hypervelocity impacts (0.5-6 km/s) at the NASA Ames Vertical Gun Range to evaluate if increasing impact velocity, which alters the coupling time between the projectile and target, might change the rates of crater growth and transient crater shape.
