Impact craters on Ganymede exhibit a wide range of morphological features due probably to the complex surface evolution of the satellite. This study concentrates on a particular kind of impact crater which generally appears to consist of three structural elements: an outer rim, a wide central pit and a circular dome inside the pit. The morphometrical analysis of these structural elements allows the distribution of these elements to be obtained, taking into account the different state of viscous relaxation. From this study, it results that the morphometry of the analyzed craters appears to be conditioned by the variation of the characteristics of Ganymede's crust during its evolution.
