This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the geometric parameters of craters that originated at the impact interaction of polyethylene projectiles with a massive organic-glass target. The impactor speed ranged from 2.7 to 6.28 km/s. The shapes of the resulting craters are determined. Using statistical analysis and scaling theory, we obtained the dependence of the diameter and depth of the crater on defining parameters. The critical impact energy resulting in the catastrophic breakup of the target is estimated.
