Abstract

IMPACTS! is a free web based Javascript application that can be opened and\nexecuted in any standard browser. It can be downloaded from\nhttps://www.dropbox.com/sh/2oanw5vxf09qpl1/AAD8uD-CsWir6slPlWndyUQAa?dl=0. This\nprogram calculates the many characteristics of the craters, ejecta and\ndisruptions that are created from hypervelocity impacts into the objects of the\nSolar System. The code cam also be obtained from the author.\n
