Scope and Contents

Contents

The impact velocities of asteroids on Earth and other terrestrial planets can be greater than 10 km/s, and impacts at these high velocities can produce significant effects on the planetary surfaces. However, since macroscopic (>∼0.1 mm) projectiles with an aspect ratio of ∼1 are not easily accelerated to more than 10 km/s in laboratories, there are...
