With the APEX 1 rocket, a recycled Urados satelite design, a perfect low orbit with Brigo and some simple math, I was able to measure the depth of the impact crater realative to the average ground level of Brigo, heres how.

CRATER RIM MEASUREMENT 1:
floating over the crater rim, I noted the lowest ground level alt to be 5700m.

CRATER DEPTH MEASUREMENT:
When I entered the crater, I watched the ground level alt skyrocket to around 26,000m, but knowing this wasn't the deepest point of the crater I kept close attention until finally the highest ground level alt was noted, at 32,000m.

CRATER RIM MEASUREMENT 2:
As I exited the crater's area, I passed the rim once again, recording the lowest ground level alt to be 5900m.

FINDING GROUND LEVEL:
I found the mean between both rim measurements [ (5700+5900)/2=5800 ] then added 1500 since the rim's average height relative to ground level was 1-3km according to Simplerockets2 wiki (https://simplerockets2.fandom.com/wiki/Brigo). This gave me 7300m.

FINAL EQUATION:
By subtracting our ground level alt by the crater depth measurement, [ 32,000-7300 ] my final depth measurement came in at 24,700m or 24.7km! Thats 300m away from being as deep as Olympus Mons' height, Mars's volcano which happens to be the tallest volcano in our solar system.

    @Gameknight3603 It's basically a bunch of maths with some words mixed in

    @NewIIFrontiers I did say it was 300m away from being, but then again I did say as tall

    Also, you made a mistake. The crater is not as high as Olympus Mons, actually the crater is almost as deep as Olympus Mons is high

    That’s a lot of words…

    I just wish I could understand them all (,>_< )
