Michael Shpekin and Ricardo Ferreyra IMPACT CRATERS OF THE MOON WITHOUT SIGNS OF THE MATTER MELTING AND THE MATTER EMISSIONS

The classic idea of impact craters is that all craters are divided into two groups: simple and complex. However, the achievements of orbital observations in recent years have made it possible to detect craters that do not belong to these two groups.

The paper draws attention to its unusual topography.The geophysical aspects of crater formation are di

The state of matter in two young impact craters of the Moon based on high-resolution orbital images

The structure of two young impact craters on the far side of the Moon has been examined: the Tsiolkovsky crater and the Aitken crater. The state of matter is discussed according to the authors' results: a volcano discovered at KSU in 2009 is considered on the bottom of the Tsiolkovsky crater, an

The experience of the author's image processing showed that the height of the spacecraft above the sphere of the standard radius could be determined with an average square error of 40-70 meters. The report presents graphs of the motion of the SC over the crater obtained by NASA ephemeris calcula

High resolution orbital photogrammetry on the example of modeling selected relief elements in the Tsiolkovsky crater on the Moon

The results of 3D-modeling of lunar relief elements in the Tsiolkovsky impact crater based on high-resolution orbital images are presented. The paper used images taken by metric cameras in the framework of the ?Apollo? program in 1971?1972 and delivered to Earth by the ?Apollo-15? and ?Apollo-17? cr

Estimation of the state of matter in young impact craters on the Moon based on the orbital observations

The report examines the results of a 3D-survey of the relief in young impact craters based on high-resolution images obtained from lunar orbits. The craters examined included:the Tsiolkovsky and Aitken craters on the far side of the Moon, the Tycho and ?Byurgius A? craters of the visible hemisphere.

Barenbaum A.A. (OGRI RAS, Moscow, Russia), Shpekin M.I., Problem of South Pole--Aitken basin origin.

The South Pole?Aitken basin on the Moon is the largest impact structure in the entire Solar System. Its dimensions exceed 3000 km, and its depth reaches 9 km. There is no generally accepted explanation for the origin of this basin. The existing hypotheses suggest that the basin was formed about 4

On origin and age of Mare Orientale on Moon

It is concluded that Mare Orientale was formed about 1-2 Ma at last bombing of Moon by galactic comets of Orion-Cygnus jet stream. To substantiate this conclusion, we used measurements of flux density comets in this jet stream, new explaining of giant South Pole-Aitken basin origin by comets, as wel

. It is known that almost 60% of the Moon's surface area is visible from the Earth due to the optical and physical libration of the Moon. This includes the entire hemisphere facing the Earth, as well as areas visible due to libration, which are called the "marginal zone of the Moon". T
