The Moon provides the best record in the solar system of the collisional evolution after the basin forming¨epoch. Thus, suitable samples from a representative set of younger impact craters are also needed to resolve several outstanding scientific questions. If done well, those ages can provide a calibrated impact cratering chronology that can be applied to the other terrestrial planets.
