ResumoA 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.
