Impact events in the solar system occur in a variety of materials, ranging from the rocky surfaces of the terrestrial planets to the icy mantles of the satellites of the outer planets to the undoubtedly highly fractured and porous materials that make up many asteroids and comets. A major challenge to impact modelers has been to understand how the composition and mechanical properties of these varied target materials dictate the outcome of an impact event. Four sources of information have historically been used to study this problem.
