We performed systematic impact cratering experiments in microgravity and vacuum environment with impact velocities larger than 100 m/sec and obtained data on diameter of crater formed in the environment. The experiments showed that the drop tower is an appropriate tool for studies of surface processes on small bodies. The result shows that the formation time and final diameter of crater formed in the glass beads or quartz sand layer are not controlled by the gravity.
