  1. Impact Ejecta Vertical Impact Experiment Transient crater reaches its maximum depth before it reaches its maximum diameter Oberbeck & Morrison (1976)

  2. Impact Ejecta Oblique Impact Experiment The ejecta is asymmetrically distributed The impact trajectory is from _______ to _______ This is part of an on-line laboratory exercise available at http://www.lpi.usra.edu/nlsi/education/hsResearch/crateringLab/ Oberbeck & Morrison (1976)

  3. Impact Ejecta Ballistic ejecta This experiment has an aluminum plate with holes that split the ejecta curtain into packets. This allows one to focus on isolated components of the ejecta curtain and see that they are on a looping ballistic trajectory This, too, is part of the on-line laboratory exercise. Both components take 1 to 2 hours to complete. Oberbeck & Morrison (1976)
