The aim of this study was to analyze the Tycho crater on the Moon using data from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, presented with the help of the QuickMap and PIPE tools.
As a result of the data analysis, a hypothesis was formulated that the Tycho crater was formed by the impact of an impactor estimated to have a size of 8.91 km.
The diameter and depth of the crater were measured, amounting to 81.4 km and 4673 m, respectively. These results were compared with study [3] and showed consistency.
The dimensions of the ray structures were also measured, with their lengths varying depending on the direction of propagation. The maximum measured ray system extended to about 1250 km.
The slope angles of the crater walls were also measured, ranging from 25° to 30°. The height of the central peak was determined to be approximately 2000 m.
Mineralogical analysis revealed an increased concentration of olivine (10–15%) and plagioclase (75%).
