We present our experimental data for hypervelocity impacts at 5 km s^-1 on compact CO_2 ice. We have examinated crater morphology (depth, diameter, shape and volume) for impacts by stainless steel projectiles of diameter from 0.4 mm to 2 mm. Relationships between crater and projectile parameters have been derived and extrapolation to other projectile sizes is considered By means of comparison of these results to impacts on H_2O ice as presented in the literature, we discuss the influence of icy target material on impact crater records in the Solar System.
