Resumo

A previously reported technique for preparing and imaging laboratory craters overlain by various thicknesses of granular material has been refined. The resulting photographs have been compared with those obtained by Ranger 7 spacecraft. Results support the earlier conclusion that the appearance of lunar craters in the Ranger photographs is consistent with the presence of at least 5 meters of granular overlay, and probably considerably more, in the area of Mare Cognitum.
