Abstract
Typical morphological elements for impact craters were detected on all analyzed Shuttle photographs. Features with diameters smaller than 2 km could not be successfully analyzed. The search for suitable Shuttle scenes was successfully performed using on-line Internet databases. Image enhancement and lineament analysis were also performed on the acquired Shuttle, Landsat and SPOT images of a suspected impact feature in South Korea. A fault bounded polygonal rim and a central uplift were identified on all images. A distinct system of annular and radial faults was not detected. The results of the study do not exclude the possibility of a meteoritic origin of this structure.
