Numerical Simulations of the Apollo S-IVB Artificial Impacts on the Moon

Numerical Simulations of the Apollo S-IVB Artificial Impacts on the Moon

The third stage of the Saturn IV rocket used in the five Apollo missions made craters on the Moon ∼30 m in diameter. Their initial impact conditions were known, so they can be considered controlled impacts. Here, we used the iSALE-2D shock physics code to numerically simulate the formation of these...
