A discrete model of crater formation describing the ejection of rock fragments from a crater has been developed. This model takes into account elastic-plastic behavior of media, energy transfer by radiation, contact boundaries, thermal and force interaction of gas and fragments of ejected rock. The
that Vesta's orbital location was not propitious for providing a significant flux of meteorites in Earth-crossing orbits A finite element code has been developed to model the thermal history of Asteroid 4 Vesta. This is the first attempt to (e.g., Wetherill 1987). However, the discovery of a cluster
