Scientific paper

Elongated craters on Mars have been addressed in a number of articles. Subsequently, three datasets were established in 1982, 1988 and 2000 respectively, using Viking images [1,2,3]. A new and improved set of data with 258 craters based on these previous datasets, and a database including up-to-date images taken by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) onboard ESA's Mars Express were compiled. An analysis of the database shows amongst other information a change in impact direction with respect to crater age and an increase of maximum crater diameter as well as an increase of eccentricity with increasing crater age.
