Purpose
This project will use a combinaison of remote sensing data analysis and simulations of impact crater formation to improve the understanding of the geological context and history of top LRM candidate landing sites. It will characterize the three large transitional craters of Haworth, Shoemaker, and Faustini. Additionally, detailed crater profiles will be used to serve as benchmarks to match the profiles that will be generated in the numerical simulations. The project aim to investigate whether cometary impactors could have delivered the south pole's water ice while producing the key combination of these crater's morphologies: large (40+ km) diameters with very flat floors.
