E5 - "Can you tell the depth, diameter, and how far out an ejecta blanket goes with a 6 mi X 24 mi picture. If so can you tell how powerful the impact

Are there any traces of water in the biggest crater on Mars, the Hellas Basin?

Why do craters erode on Mars?

I like them both! Hellis Basin may be out of range of Odyssey. We'll have to check on that.

The second question is very doable. Be sure to do the different crater types that exist on Mars (ask me for the old Gusev lesson) and how craters change.

Could slposh craters show traces of life which once existed undergroung?

Our group was very productive and came up with a new question.

Good luck! So what are you going to look for here? So your going to photograph a known splosh crater and look for evidence of what? That should be the concentration of your research. What evidence exists on the surface of an arae that would indicate that life existed below? I wish you well in your hunt:)

Not everybody has completed their task, and we have come up with a new question.

The new question is, "Can you tell the depth, diameter, and how far out an ejecta blanket goes with a 6 mi X 24 mi picture. If so can you tell how powerful the impact was by factoring these lengths."

I REALLY like this one! We can do something with this. Let's talk!

Our Final Question: Is it possible to determine the lengths of the features of splosh craters? If so can you tell the power of the impact?

Image Identification Number: 20030212a

For our experiment, our group, E5, will be dropping different size objects into a material that will replicate the ground where splosh craters are former. Our group will most likely be dropping marbles on to Jello covered in sand, or Plaster of Paris.

Now your big challenge is to find a material that will replicate the surface of Mars. You can't just pick one and do it, you need to do more research.
